Available to All Students
The School of Computer Science supports postgraduate research study through the provision of a number of School scholarships. These include:
o Atlas Scholarships
o Project studentships
o School Scholarships
o Demonstrator opportunities
o Teaching Assistantship
o Demonstrator opportunities: If you are self-funded or externally-funded, there are opportunities to undertake paid laboratory demonstrator duties.
o Teaching Assistantships: Teaching assistantships are full-time studentships funded by the school in return for some part-time work. Teaching assistants have a scholarship equivalent to the ESPRC scholarship, plus an honorarium for the work they do. Teaching Assistants work part time in term-time, aiding staff in various teaching-related duties. These duties might include supervising laboratories, preparing and marking course work and taking tutorials and examples classes. There may possibly be an opportunity to give a small number of lectures on courses where the material matches your personal expertise. The work should occupy approximately one full day per week. This enables you to be registered for a full time MPhil/PhD.
Conditions of Work
The work as a teaching assistant should occupy a total of about 180 hours plus some preparation time throughout the year, or approximately one full day a week. The TA will be registered for full-time MPhil or PhD. The precise duties are at the discretion of the Director of the Undergraduate School of the School of Computer Science.
Amount of Award
The current amount of the award is living expenses paid at the current EPSRC national minimum rate plus an honorarium (currently £1,575 per annum) in recognition of Teaching Assistant duties. In addition, the School will pay your University fees (at the current home student rate). Teaching Assistantship is a scholarship, not a job. As such, there is no requirement to pay income tax or National Insurance contributions on this award.
