> -- uk: Studentships for PhD study in Informatics
[fifty research studentships are available for UK, EU
and overseas students] / School of Informatics,
University of Edinburgh
> ---------------------------------
> FIFTY research studentships are available for UK,
EU and overseas students. Many are full studentships,
paying your tuition fees and a stipend of 12600 pounds
to cover living expenses in your first year, rising in
second and third years. The rest pay your fees and/or
a contribution towards living expenses. Payment of
fees for non-EU students is subject to successful
competition for an Overseas Research Student award. By
making contributions to teaching, for example by
leading tutorial groups, you can expect to earn an
additional 500-1000 pounds per year. INFORMATICS is
the study of information and computation, in both
natural and engineered systems. It comprises a vast
range of scientific and engineering endeavour and has
enormous economic and social impact. The University of
Edinburgh's School of Informatics possesses a
combination of breadth and strength unparallelled
elsewhere in the UK and competitive world-wide. It is
the only department to have achieved the top
> 5*A rating in Computer Science in the UK
government's 2001 Research Assessment Exercise round,
and it is the UK's biggest research group in this
area. We currently have around 250 students studying
for PhD, and around 130 for MSc. PHD STUDY is carried
out within one of our six research Institutes: ANC:
Institute for Adaptive and Neural Computation
> CISA: Centre for Intelligent Systems and their
Applications
> ICCS: Institute for Communicating and Collaborative
Systems
> ICSA: Institute for Computing Systems Architecture
> IPAB: Institute of Perception, Action and Behaviour
> LFCS: Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science
