Studentships - MRes in the Design and Evaluation
of Advanced Interactive Systems
LANCASTER UNIVERSITY
Psychology & Computing Departments
We are able to offer several studentships for
this well-established, interdisciplinary Masters
course (one-year, full-time only). We are seeking
graduates who have at least a 2(i) honours degree
(or equivalent) in Computing, Psychology or
another relevant discipline.
Studentships are funded by the EPSRC and provide
partial maintenance bursaries for UK applicants
(approximately £6,000 per annum) plus full fees
cover. Studentships are offered competitively on
the basis of merit. Fees-only funding is
available to candidates from EU countries.
We also welcome overseas applicants. Although
EPSRC studentships are not available to
international candidates, we are able to offer
Psychology Department bursaries of £500 as a
contribution to living costs. These will be
awarded on the basis of merit.
The MRes course has the following features:
* An integrated curriculum that brings together
strengths in social science, psychology and
computing to address core topics in designing and
evaluating interfaces, from empirical studies of
human-system interaction to technological
advances in interactive systems;
* A unique collaborative design project module,
where students work together designing for an
audience of industrial and academic end-users;
* Dissertation projects undertaken at
collaborating end-user sites under academic
supervision;
* An exciting and internationally-renowned
environment for advanced interactive environment
research.
Further information is available on our web site:

The closing data for applications for
studentships and bursaries is 1st May 2005, for
course entry in October 2005. Competition is
likely to be fierce, so early contact with the
Psychology Department is encouraged.
