Study Subject: Next-generation Internet, Multi-modal interaction, Modelling and abstraction, Complex systems engineering
Level: PhD
Scholarship Description: The Scottish Graduate Academy offers prize studentships to excellent candidates from across the world. There is no residence qualification and candidates from any country may apply.
We are willing to consider applicants in any area of computer science and informatics but may give preference to students who are working in SICSA theme areas:
Next-generation Internet
Multi-modal interaction
Modelling and abstraction
Complex systems engineering
Some universities would like to recruit students for specific projects and information about these projects is available here. However, your application does not have to be related to any of these projects and you may make a research proposal in any area of work.
Students must have or must expect to be awarded a 1st class honours degree, an MSc with Distinction or equivalent GPA scores. We will normally reject your application if you have not achieved this level of qualification.
The call for applications for 2011 studentships is now active, and the deadline for applications is 28th February 2011
Information for current applicants
Selection of candidates is by a competitive process where we look at the student's academic achievements, referees reports, research proposal, publications and experience. The research proposal is particularly important as this helps us judge how well a candidate has thought about their research, how well the research fits with themes and the potential cross-site supervisory arrangements.
Your studentship application will be considered by the universities that you have listed in your application. They will decide, on the basis of the information in your application, if they wish to nominate you for a SICSA studentship. If they do so, your application will be considered by the Graduate Academy Board.
Your first choice university may decide not to nominate your application for a studentship. In this case, your details will be passed to any other universities that you have included in your application and they may decide to support your application. Applications from students who are not nominated by one of the SICSA partners will not be considered for a prize studentship.
Our aim is to make offers of prize studentships by the end of March 2011 and, for the 2nd round of applications, by the end of May 2011.
