The SICSA Graduate Academy

The SICSA Graduate Academy (SGA) is an international graduate school in informatics and computer science. Our goal is to deliver a post-graduate experience comparable to that offered by top schools such as Carnegie-Mellon, Stanford, MIT and UC Berkeley. We aim to foster researchers who have world-leading potential, and practitioners ready to take future research results into practice. 

All computer science/informatics PhD students who are registered with a Scottish university are members of the Graduate Academy and can participate in SICSA activities without charge.The SGA is coordinated by the Graduate Academy Director with support from the Graduate Academy Administrator.

We offer up to 20 prize studentships per year, world-class post-graduate training in advanced topics in computer science, transferable skills and entrepreneurship and organise a coordinated programme of research-related activities:

• SICSA prize studentships
• PhD training and activities.
• summer schools
• annual postgraduate conference
• distinguished visiting fellowships.
• tutorials and seminars from SICSA staff and distinguished visitors
• research workshops
