Study in SWISS - Get a Scholarship
Through the Federal Commission for Scholarships for Foreign Students (FCS), the Swiss Government grants foreign students university scholarships (Swiss universities, Federal Institutes of Technology). These scholarships are offered on the basis of reciprocity (fixed number of scholarships for each country) or within the frame of a scholarship pool (scholarships without fixed distribution by country). They are intended for students who have graduated from university (postgraduates) and who, by staying in Switzerland, will be able to further their education and to undertake research work in the fields in which the Swiss universities are particularly active.
To a limited extent, scholarships are also offered for postgraduate studies at the Universities of Applied Sciences. This applies to the group of Western (AP-1) and Central and Eastern European countries (AP-2) included in the scholarship pool. Students must have graduated from a university or university of applied sciences with at least a Bachelor Degree and enrol in Switzerland for studies at post-graduate level. This offer applies for the seven universities of applied sciences, not including teaching colleges. In the field of the arts (design/music), the conditions for arts students relating to the country offer apply (see below).
This program is valid only for studies in Switzerland. It is not valid for on-the-job studies, part-time studies or correspondence courses.
In the framework of a special allocation, scholarships for advanced arts students (without fixed distribution by country) are offered to the best applicants who are already at an advanced stage of their training. This offer is restricted to those countries which are listed under AR, AP-1 and BR-1.
The scholarships are offered in principle to foreign governments. The applications have to be submitted for a preliminary selection to the national institution in charge and the Swiss diplomatic representation in the student's country of origin. The Swiss diplomatic representation will thereupon forward the pre-selected applications to the FCS for definitive selection. Finally the Federal Department of Home Affairs awards scholarships on the advice of the FCS.
As part of a special allocation, the Swiss Government provides a number of additional scholarships to postgraduates from Central and Eastern European countries (pool system, no fixed number of scholarships for each country). The conditions are described in a special notice.more detai at: http://www.sbf.admin.ch/htm/bildung/stipendien/eskas-e.html#top

Studentships at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
Applications are invited for a number of Ph. D. and M.Sc. studentship in the School of Engineering at Trinity College Dublin. These research positions are for up to 3 years, commencing 1 st October 2007. Funding is provided from a number of Science Foundation Ireland Research Frontiers Programmes. The research topics range from thermal management of electronics to fluid mechanics of industrial heat exchangers. Postgraduate researchers are sought to work on the following projects:
- Synthetic Air Jet Cooling
- Investigation for Flow-induced Vibration in Tube Arrays
- The Mechanisms of Heat Transfer during Nucleate Pool Boiling
Contact: Prof. Darina B. Murray ( dmurray@tcd.ie )
1 x M.Sc. position (2 years), 1 x Ph.D. position (3 years)
The use of synthetic air jets is an emerging technology for effective electronics cooling applications. To enhance the cooling performance of synthetic air jets, it is proposed that a better understanding of the temporal nature of the flow velocity and heat flux is required. The planned experimental research will measure the heat transfer at various locations along the impingement surface and correlate this with measurements of the local flow velocity and temperature. Of particular interest are the thermal gradients in the jet flow due to vortices and the influence that "energy separation" has on the local and area averaged heat transfer.
Investigation for Flow-induced Vibration in Tube Arrays
Contact: Dr. Craig Meskell ( cmeskell@tcd.ie )
2 x Ph.D. positions (3 year)
Large scale industrial heat exchangers, typical of electricity generating plants or process plants, consist of a large array of tubes subject to cross flow which are prone to a particular type of flow-induced vibration referred to as fluidelastic instability (this phenomenon is distinctly different from vortex shedding, acoustic resonance or turbulent buffeting). In fluidelastic instability (FEI), the vibration occurs at the natural frequency of the structure which is usually <10hz.>
The basic issue is that the available data for fluidelastic critical velocity cannot be well described by a single correlation, nor is there a sound theoretical explanation of the phenomenon. This fundamental research project will investigate this problem with two closely related programmes of study: one experimental and the other numerical (CFD).
The Mechanisms of Heat Transfer during Nucleate Pool BoilingContact: Dr. Anthony Robinson ( arobins@tcd.ie )
1 x M.Sc. position (2 years), 1 x Ph.D. position (3 years)
A fundamental investigation of bubble growth during nucleate pool boiling will be performed. The growth of a single isolated bubble on a heated surface will be modelled and solved using CFD. The physical model will incorporate important aspects of boiling, such as thermocapillary convection, that have previously been ignored. The efficacy and accuracy of the physical model and solution technique will be assured by validation with new bubble growth measurements with spatially and temporally resolved surface measurements in the vicinity of the bubbles. The intricate coupling between the bubble growth and the mechanisms responsible for heat removal during boiling will be elucidated for different boiling conditions including terrestrial and microgravity environments.
The studentships include a maintenance grant of between €16,000 and €18,000 per annum, plus EU College fees and an allowance for consumables and travel. Applicants should have a good honors primary degree (preferably first class honors) in Mechanical Engineering or other relevant degree.
Interested candidates are encouraged to apply by submitting:
• A Curriculum Vitae
• A Statement of your Research Interests, explaining why you want to do a Ph.D. and what you expect to gain from it (maximum two pages)
• Two Referees (at least one of whom should be an academic)

Study in Sweden - Master Programme for Key Personnel in Developing Countries
The purpose of these scholarships is to help grow special competencies in targeted countries. Eligibility is thus restricted to candidates from specific countries seeking admittance to approved programmes at Swedish universities. Because Sida has identified different developmental needs in different countries, your citizenship determines which programmes are available for scholarship support.
These scholarships are financed by Sida and administered by the Swedish Institute, a public agency promoting cultural and educational exchange between Sweden and the world.
GENERAL CRITERIA
Priority
In the scholarship selection process, your application is given priority if you can secure a leave of absence from your job which allows you to return upon completion of your studies. If not enough applicants meet this criterion, your application will be considered if you have at least five years of relevant work experience.
Citizenship, study level and study areas
Eligible countries are listed by programme. Below each approved master’s programme you’ll find a list of countries whose citizens are eligible for scholarship support under that programme.
Study period
The master’s level programmes are between one and two academic years in duration. They usually start at the end of August or early September.
Language
You need to have a good knowledge of English. All approved master’s level programmes are taught in English.
Scholarship benefits
Currently, a scholarship pays SEK 8,000 per month, plus travel costs to and from Sweden. These scholarships are designed to cover living expenses for one person only. Tuition for the eligible programmes is free.
Scholarship holders are insured by the Swedish Institute against illness and accidents in Sweden during the scholarship period.
HOW TO APPLY
Application
You can apply for this scholarship when you apply for admission to one of the approved master's programmes at a Swedish university.
There is no application form for this scholarship. Do not send any master's scholarship requests or applications to the Swedish Institute. Instead, you apply directly to the university for the master’s programme and at the same time inform them that you would like to be considered for this scholarship.
Some universities let you indicate this on their admission application forms. In other cases, you will need to attach a letter to your admission application spelling out your request for this scholarship explicitly.
Important
You also need to attach a letter from your employer confirming that you are able to take a leave of absence for the duration of your studies, and that you will be able to return to your position when you have finished studying. If you cannot provide such a letter, please provide proof of employment of at least five years in a relevant field.
Send your completed application for admission to the programme – including a request for this scholarship and the letter regarding your employment situation – to the university you would like to study at. They will process your scholarship request.
The application deadline for this scholarship is thus the same as the application deadline for the master's programme you'd like to apply to.
How is my scholarship application processed?
The university you have applied to first chooses whom to admit to their master's programme. From this group of successful applicants, it then considers those who have requested a scholarship. It makes a shortlist of recommended candidates and sends this to the Swedish Institute.
The Swedish Institute collects these recommendations from all Swedish universities, and then makes the final selection of scholarship recipients.
If you have been selected for a scholarship for a programme that begins with the fall semester, you will be informed by the Swedish Institute in May or early June.more detail at: http://www.sweden.se/templates/cs/Article____10273.aspx

The scholarship program begins after the candidate`s arrival in Greece, at a School of Modern Greek Language either at the Didaskaleio of the University of Athens or the School of Modern Greek Language of the University of Thessaloniki (the courses for Modern Greek Language usually commence on 1st October). The candidate must at least be conditionally admitted by a Greek University as proven by a formal letter issued by the relevant Faculty or faculty professor of that University.

- The scholars will be deprived of their scholarship in any of the following cases:

- They don’t comply with the terms and conditions of the scholarship.

- Applicants who are or have been scholarship holders of the State Scholarships Foundation will be excluded from all future programmes of Ministry of Education.
- The duration of the postgraduate scholarship is for two years, unless a third year is considered necessary by the University, for the study of Greek Language.
- A scholarship renewal is decided by the Ministry of Education, according to the scholars’ research-studies. It all depends on students’ satisfactory progress, in order for them to obtain their relevant degrees. In any case, the Ministry of Education examines and decides upon the total duration of each student’s scholarship.
All scholarships provide:
- 600 euros for initial expenses.
- Stay permit dues.
- Tuition fees for the School of Modern Greek Language.
- Free medical care in public hospitals in case of emergency.
No support is provided for transportation, conferences, seminars, symposia or research activities.

- The scholarship will be withheld for periods spent outside Greece.
On their arrival in Greece, students are obliged to present themselves to the Ministry of Education, receive their file and settle all formalities, concerning their medical assurance and financial provisions from the Ministry.
