Overview
The School is able to offer six ‘School-ORS’ fees contribution scholarships to suitably qualified international PhD students who are able to start in September 2010 or, in some cases, earlier. The criteria are academic qualifications, supporting statements from referees familiar with the demands of academic research and the quality of a ‘research proposal’ and personal statement. The scholarships will pay a contribution to the full fee each year over 3 years (approximately 75% of the full fee) with a commitment to undertake about 90 hours of teaching or demonstrating. The University cannot make any contribution towards living expenses, nor any further contribution towards fees, and must be satisfied that the applicant has sufficient external funding to support the required three years of study.
Research Areas
The studentships can cover research on any Computer Science topic. Visit: Research Groups for an overview of the research activities of the School.
How to Apply
You may either contact potential supervisors to negotiate a possible PhD topic or select a PhD research topic from the list in Research Projects. A list of members of the academic staff with their research interests is available on the page: People in Computer Science.
To submit an application, follow the instructions available from the: Research Apply page. You will be asked to complete an application form which requires you to propose a Research Supervisor, enter a Research Title and enter ‘Details’ of the research you wish to become engaged in.
Please attach a 'research proposal' and a personal statement ('statement of purpose') as separate documents. Advice on writing a research proposal may be found here. The research proposal should be based on an original idea, or a PhD project selected from our list. It should present your own perspective of the proposed project, why it is important and worth studying and a methodology that may be adopted. In the personal statement, include any other information you consider relevant including your reasons and motivation for applying. We would be very interested to know about any publications you have produced or are in the process of producing. These two attached documents will be assessed by the School funding committee when it considers your application.
Each application will be processed in two phases:
In the first phase, your application and qualifications will be considered by the School and prospective supervisor(s). If your application is successful, you will receive an offer for a place in our PhD programme.
In the second phase, if you wish to be considered for funding, your application will be presented to the School’s funding panel which meets three times during the academic year. The deadlines for these panel meetings will be 26 March, 28 May, 30 July. Applications received before each of these deadlines will be considered at the corresponding panel meeting. Decisions will be conveyed as soon as possible after each meeting.
Applications received after final the deadline will be considered if there are scholarships remaining or if extra funding becomes available.
Further Information
If you are interested, you are encouraged to approach potential supervisors and suggest a possible PhD topic or browse through a list of suggested PhD projects available from: Research Projects
