[Academic] Fwd: PGR Applications from Saudi and Oman

[Gordon Robb]

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.

There is no restriction on subject area but the practicalities of the 
external supervision scheme probably suit theory/computation projects 
more than experimental ones.

Last week I visited Saudi Arabia and Oman where I met with applicants 
that expressed an interest in studying for a PhD with us. They fall into 
two main categories:

  * Standard applicants, who will come to Strathclyde for a 3 year PhD,
    *fully-funded* by Saudi Government.
  * External supervision applicants from Princess Nora University, King
    Saud University and King Abdulaziz University. Most of these
    applicants will be female members of lecturing staff who are funded
    by their home University. They will carry out their research at
    their home university under our supervision, they will pay
    international tuition fees to Strathclyde for the whole of their
    PhD,  and will submit a thesis for a Strathclyde PhD. They will
    visit to Strathclyde twice a year and in addition, the Strathclyde
    supervisor is required to travel to Saudi Arabia for short visits up
    to twice a year, for which business class flights and hotel
    accommodation will be provided.

For both types, the prospective applicants have been given the Faculty's 
list of research topics, and directed to departmental web-pages with a 
view to them identifying potential supervisors and research areas before 
they complete the formal application form.

Could you please alert all academic staff in your departments to these 
opportuntiies? In particular, the information about the External 
Supervision scheme as potential applicants may contact them directly.

If any member of staff requires further information they are very 
welcome to contact me.

Thanks

Elizabeth
