29. Is there any way of getting funding to study on the programme?

The 3rd cycle in Law at NOVA Direito (FDUNL) was distinguished with the PhD Programme status from the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia – FCT (Science and Technology Foundation). We have eight introductory research grants for the best candidates, and PhD grants for the five candidates that achieve the best results in the first phase of the PhD. This funding applies to the next four 3rd  cycle courses (PhD students who started their studies at our Faculty between 2014 and 2017).
The process for the attribution of grants will begin immediately after the selection of candidates for each course. During this academic year (2014/2015), the Faculty is currently awaiting the conclusion of the administrative process to receive the respective funding from FCT.
