PhD scholarships in agriculture and life sciences

phd-scholarship.com is a structured catalog of funded PhD positions at universities and research institutes across Europe and worldwide. Listings include monthly stipends, funding type, research fields, eligibility, and application deadlines — so you can compare programmes without opening dozens of institute sites.

Whether your focus is crop science, plant breeding, soil health, sustainable farming, forestry, or environmental management, you can narrow results by country, discipline, and affordability before you apply.

What you can do on this site

  • AI navigator — describe your ideal funded PhD in one sentence; matching scholarships, institutes, and open vacancies are ranked from our database.
  • Structured filters — browse by country or research field, then compare stipends and funding details side by side.
  • Affordability check — use the PhD stipend affordability calculator to see how typical grants compare with estimated living costs in each country or city.
  • Open vacancies — when deadlines are near, explore current open PhD positions linked to institute profiles.

Browse by country or research field

Start from the country directory for Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Finland, France, Italy, and other destinations — or open the research fields hub to explore agricultural sciences, plant sciences, forestry, and related disciplines.

Each landing page summarizes funding patterns, typical stipend bands, and links back to matching institute scholarships in our catalog.

Why Europe and worldwide for a PhD in agriculture?

European universities and global research centres lead work on climate-resilient crops, precision agriculture, biodiversity, and food security. A funded PhD in this field connects you to collaborative labs, field stations, and industry partners — with career paths in academia, public policy, NGOs, and agri-tech.

PhD funding for international students

Many listings welcome applicants from outside the host country. Filter by eligibility, check published stipend amounts, and note whether a position is fully funded or partially supported before you prepare your application package.
