Applicants should possess a good honours degree
(or an equivalent degree if not obtained in a UK university)
and will be expected to register for a higher degree (MPhil/PhD).
Overseas candidates must have a good command of English.
 
Candidates should have a background of Computational Linguistics.
A good knowledge of one or more programming languages is essential.
 
 
Bursary
- -------
 
The current value of the bursary is # 5, 500. In addition,
up to six teaching hours a week would be possible
