Ireland - France - England - Germany

What is the best country to invest in a PhD?
Maybe England, there are a lot of fundings. But Ireland too has got many fundings for the future...?

Hi, I am not sure whether you are German and know about these things but in Germany it is quite difficult to get funding and there aren't many PhDs on offer (compared to UK). A PhD generally takes longer then 3 yrs - more like 5-7 yrs. You will have to have a Masters to be accepted as far as I am aware. The system is changing at the moment to a Bachelor/Masters one but until last year there was only a Diplom which is equivalent to a Masters and therefore you need this for a PhD. In general I think it is a good idea to go somewhere else as you learn the language, culture etc and looks good on a cv. good luck
