See message below from Christine Dowds regarding funded Saudi PhD
students - if anyone is interested in the external supervision
scheme mentioned then please let me or Christine know. <br>
<br>
There is no restriction on subject area but the practicalities of
the external supervision scheme probably suit theory/computation
projects more than experimental ones.<br>
