How will you finance your studies? Will this vary from country to country?

This is still uncertain. For high ranking universities I will probably have a scholarship from Brazil, otherwise I will need a scholarship from elsewhere. With the probabilities in brackets:

  1. Oxford: Brazilian government scholarship. They will give me 1100 EUR per month besides paying for all the fees and accommodation. They pay one international travel per year. (90%)

  2. Manchester, same as above. (70%)

  3. Stockholm: Swedish government salary (there a Phd is a job). For an Physics position it was ~2500 EUR per month.(100%)

  4. Wellington: I don't know.

  5. Brazil: 950 EUR per month (70%).
