Description:
FORTY research studentships are available for UK, EU and overseas students.
Many are full studentships, paying your tuition fees and a stipend of 12000
pounds to cover living expenses in your first year, rising in second and
third years. The rest pay your fees and a contribution of 6000 pounds per
year towards living expenses. Payment of fees for non-EU students is
subject to successful competition for an Overseas Research Studentship. 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 215 students studying for PhD, and around 150 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
FOR MUCH MORE INFORMATION and a list of potential PhD research topics see
