Studentships

The Department of Computer Science is committed to undertaking research and teaching of the highest international standards in computer science and related areas. Part of this commitment is our studentships, which we award competitively every year. These fund tuition fees and may cover living expenses, wholly or in part.

These pages are updated regularly, so please keep checking for new studentships as they are announced.
