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
Scholarship for IT Technology at Information and Communications University, Korea
Since the IT industry has become a key asset for the competitiveness of a nation, developing human resources is of great importance for a nation. The Republic of Korea, as one of the leading countries in the IT industry, seeks to play a more active role to meet this demand of the time.
One of the efforts to meet this challenge is IT Technology Program(ITTP) newly offered at the Information and Communications University(ICU) with an aim to build global network of IT leaders around the world.
ITTP, sponsored by the Korean government, offers a customized master’s and doctoral degree program for government officials, employees of public institutions or senior-level researchers at national research centers working in the IT fields of foreign countries. All the students will receive scholarships, up to 2 years for master degree students and up to 3 years for doctoral degree students.
This program focuses on transferring advanced technologies and business strategies of Korea to the next generation global IT leaders. After the education at ICU, a distinguished IT university, the ITTP students will acquire not only all the accumulated know-hows of the IT industry of Korea but also the creative abilities to apply learned knowledges and skills to their own countries. The graduates of the program will receive updates of current developments in the IT fields of Korea through annual or biannual newsletters, and remain networked through regularly scheduled seminars.

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)
