UK: 600th Anniversary PhD Scholarships in Computer Science

Deadline: Feb. 4, 2013

University of St Andrews -School of Computer Science

The University of St Andrews was founded in 1413 making it Scotland's first university and the third oldest in the English-speaking world. Over the past six centuries it has established a reputation as one of Europe's leading and most distinctive centres for teaching and research. This is an historic moment for the University as we look back on six centuries of tradition and of belief in the value of people, ideas and excellence. It falls to the present generation to preserve these values for the generations to come.   As we stand on the threshold of our seventh century, the University is to invest in the future of the next generation of world-leading researchers by launching a new prestigious PhD scholarship scheme. These anniversary scholarships are available from September 2013 and comprise fees plus an annual stipend.

The School of Computer Science at the University of St Andrews seeks excellent students to undertake PhD research in any of the general research areas in the school:
