Hi everybody!
I'm thinking of doing a PhD in Ireland cause I've already been there and I would love to come back ( I'm Italian, btw).
However, this is my problem: how can I get some sort of financial support?
Fees are really expensive and so it is the cost of living. That's why I don't think I could afford them.
I wonder how normal people can pay all these money! I mean, I did a brief cost calculation and I'll need around 14000€ just for fees, room and board.
What should I do to get a funding/scholarship/grant?
How many chances do I have to get one of those?
How do Irish people usually deal with it? Everything is new for me because in Italy PhDs are really different so I feel like I'm missing something important, something I should know... I'm not even sure I've fully understood the difference between scholarship, fundings and grants!
Please somebody help me! :)
