Great. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.

There's another thing I am not sure about: sometimes I see that PhD programs start in different periods around the year. At NTU, for example, 4 periods are available http://www4.ntu.ac.uk/research/ntu_doctoral_school/applying_fees_funding/index.html.

But, if positions do open at all times in the year, what these deadlines mean?

Thanks again!

Hello everyone!

I am an Italian student searching for a PhD abroad (Europe) in Psychology.

I am pretty new in this "PhD world" and I am actually confused about the PhD program existing in different universities.
My understood is (please, correct me if I am wrong) that it is possible to find in every university a 1+3 PhD program fully funded and some PhD positions that can be opened in every time of the year, usually founded.

My question is: is the 1+3 program always present in every university?
In more that one case (eg: Birmingham University) I found just PhD position without a 1+3 system, but with applications opened dependently by the research projects existing.

Thanks for your help, guys :)
