The Computing Laboratory has funding from the EPSRC for a certain number of Doctoral Training Account ("DTA") D.Phil. studentships each year. Only UK and EU residents are eligible for these. UK residents are eligible for full awards, including fees and maintenance; EU residents are eligible for awards covering fees only. For a precise statement of eligibility, please consult this document from EPSRC.
The Department automatically considers all eligible applicants who have been offered places and who have applied in gathered fields 1-4. We nonetheless recommend that applicants bring to our attention their wish to be considered for an EPSRC DTA studentship by stating this in section J of the application form.
Final decisions for applicants wishing to begin their doctoral studies in academic year 2008-09 will be made not later than early May 2008.
