> fees paid, and receive a maintenance grant. In 1998/99 the basic
> maintenance grant was £6,455. There are also addition allowances for
> mature students, disabled students, and students with young dependants.
> Students must take the course on a full-time basis for one year.

> in history who wish to learn computer-based approaches to historical
> debates and sources. No prior computing experience is required.
> Subjects covered include database management, data modelling, the
> nineteenth-century census, occupational classification, record linkage,
> markup and textual analysis. Students learn computing methods and
> select an historical topic for in-depth study. Recent recipients of the
