"There are many talented and hard working students in the region who might not have the opportunity to complete a quality postgraduate degree in higher education. Through our fellowship initiative, we are offering students the chance to further their education and work with leading professors at BUiD in a bid to expand on our IT offerings and reputation,"
said Dr Abdullah Alshamsi, Vice-Chancellor, BUiD.
The fellowship involves a rigorous selection process in which potential students must be among the top students holding a first degree in IT, Computer Science, Cognitive Science or within a related area. Students require an enthusiasm for research and scientific inquiry and will enrol in the MSc in IT programme on a part-time basis.
The Faculty of Informatics at the British University in Dubai is the first institute dedicated solely to postgraduate IT education and research in the UAE. Academic staff at BUiD's Faculty of Informatics undertakes quality research of international standards through its partnership with the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh, one of the world's leading research departments in IT. The Faculty continues to develop a critical mass of IT research activity that targets challenges specific to the region.
Graduates from this programme consistently publish their findings in key journals and present in top international conferences, preparing them for excellent careers in industrial research and development (R&D) or for pursuing further study towards a PhD.
BUiD also offers a variety of other scholarships, covering 75, 50, and 25% of the tuition fee. Candidates who do not qualify for the fellowship will automatically be considered for the other scholarships.
