what countries offer funded PhDs and teach in english?

M

dear all,

country-by country i'm looking into this, but if anyone can please tell me which countries offer funded PhDs and teach in english, i'll be very, very grateful.

i already know about the UK, the US, Oz and NZ, thanks.

i'm interested in any warm/sunny country anywhere in the world.

thanks so much for any help you can give

umm i'm not exactly sure what you mean by 'teach in english', as surely you are aware that you won't be 'taught' your PhD? or do you mean re own teaching opportunities?

i know that most swiss universities will let you submit your PhD in english.
in order to teach, you would however have to get at least a basic grasp of the local language.

M

thanks very much for your reply.

i should have said the language i will learn in!

and if it involved a teaching studentship, that would also need to be in english.

A factor that is more important than if it's 'warm and sunny' is actually the research strength of a supervisor/Department, and the project itself. That should be your focus.

M

of course quality of course and research is crucial, that goes without saying! however as a mature student who suffers very badly from S.A.D., i know that long-term i need to make my life in a sunny place.
