Application tips
- Contact potential supervisors early through the Find a Supervisor portal — the programme warns academics are contacted by far more students than they can host
- Tell your referee and supervisor to expect emailed forms with a 5 February 2027 deadline
- Note you may apply to several European programmes, but each has its own application process
- Caveat: the FAQ page header says the information is relevant for the 2026 cycle and may be updated for 2027, although the page itself states the 2027 dates and deadline
