[Corpora-List] Subject: Scholarships for PhD study in Informatics at Edinburgh

[Miles Osborne]

FIFTY research scholarships are available for UK, EU and overseas students.
Many are full scholarships, paying your tuition fees and a stipend of 12940
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 270
students studying for PhD, and around 140 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   ****this is
where we do most of our language work
  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

APPLY by mid-March or earlier if possible. Applications for an Overseas
Research Student award must be completed by mid-February. Chinese applicants
who are interested in funding from the China Scholarship Council should
