Is the word estudioso the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "estudioso" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammatical function in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only differences lie in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels tend to be more "open," and the "s" is typically pronounced as a clear [s] sound. In Continental Portuguese, the vowels are more "closed" or reduced, and the "s" in the middle of the word is often pronounced as a "sh" sound ([ʃ]).
