Having made the decision to pursue a PhD, you now have the dilemma of choosing the university and department which best suit your individual preferences and requirements.

There are the obvious factors to be considered, such as in which country the university should be based, in which language you wish to study, access to funding and supervisor availability. There are also a number of other factors that should similarly be a part of your decision making process. These factors are not always obvious but can have a significant impact upon your PhD experience.
