1. Informatics PhD Shadowing Scheme
The Informatics PhD Shadowing scheme gives UK undergraduate and Masters students from under-represented groups the chance to spend one day with a current PhD student in Informatics at the University of Edinburgh to observe their typical activities, ask questions informally, and find out how PhD study really works. PhDs in Informatics are open to students from a wide range of backgrounds, and most programmes are fully funded, with tuition fees and a monthly stipend for 3.5-4 years. Spending a day with a current researcher is the best way to see how it all works.
