Departmental Scholarships
For students registering with the Department on any one of our MSc degrees starting in September 2008, we are now offering a one-off £500 scholarship for those who gain a first class Bachelors degree or equivalent. This scholarship is being offered to students who do not receive any other funding from the University, and who have accepted an offer to study by Friday August 15th 2008.
Note that equivalence to UK first class degrees is decided by the Department's programme team on an individual basis.
The Department offers three MSc programmes:
MSc Information Systems - Business computing for future IT directors
MSc Internet Computing - Advanced computing for Internet applications and science
MSc Security Technologies and Applications - Protecting the digital age for future security consultants
EPSRC Scholarships
We have up to 8 EPSRC funded scholarships for UK students specifically for the MSc in Security Technologies and Applications programme. For UK students, funding pays the associated programme fee plus provides a stipend of up to £10,000. Applicants must be UK home students with at least a 2.1 Bachelors degree. EU students are also eligible to apply, although funding can only be awarded for fees only, depending upon the period of time resident in the UK.
Note that eligibility and award is decided by the Department's programme team on an individual basis.
