National funding for this destination
Honestly
Why this works
- PhD-only research institute: no bachelor or master intake, the entire programme is English-taught
- No tuition and no application fee: €0 at every stage of the PhD, including internships
- Doctoral students hold an employment contract with the institute: gross €3.053–3.673/month over 14 payments (€42.742–51.422/year) · 2026
- That salary is far above the Austrian Richtsatz for a student residence permit (€15.700,68/year for 24+), so proof of means is covered by the contract rather than a bank statement · 2026-27
- Campus in Klosterneuburg, ~15 km from the centre of Vienna; one intake a year with an 8 January deadline
