Not officially confirmed
We list these so you know what this page deliberately does not claim.
- Country and constituency deadlines for the next round are not announced, so none are listed.
- The GPA benchmark and 'late July to early October 2026' window in the earlier record are not supported by the page reviewed and were removed.
Editorial preparation advice (our suggestions, not official requirements)
- Read the Conditions of Tenure document before planning your course combination, because the number of funded years depends on your course choice.
