International Research Studentships 2009/2010 in Computer Science at University Birmingham
School of Computer Science International Research Studentships
For applicants from outside the European Union who will work full time on their research degree. These studentships last for up to three years. Applicants for these scholarships must have an excellent academic record (for instance being first in their course) and an excellent command of English. Our research students are required to demonstrate for up to six hours a week during term time – for which there is an extra hourly payment in addition to the studentship.
Minimum payment for 2008/2009: £12,500 pa and tuition fees.
Closing date : 15 July 2009
The fees you will have to pay depend on whether you are classified as an ‘overseas student’ for fees purposes. The rules for this are set by the British Government. In general terms the higher overseas fees will be charged to students who do not have a ‘relevant connection’ with the United Kingdom and Islands. A student is defined as having a ‘relevant connection’ if:
1. he or she has been ordinarily resident therein throughout the three-year period preceding 1 September, 1 January or 1 April closest to the beginning of the first term of the student’s course, and
2. he or she has not been resident therein, during any part of that three-year period, wholly or mainly for the purpose of full-time education, and
3. he or she has no time limit or other immigration restriction on his/her stay in the UK.
The Regulations include provisions whereby higher fees may not be charged to ‘excepted students,’ a group which includes those from the European Union and those who have not been ordinarily resident solely because they, or their spouse or parents, have been temporarily employed outside the UK or EU. Proof of the temporary nature of this employment is required (for example, fixed-term contract).
