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.

We offer world-class post-graduate training in advanced topics in computer science, transferable skills and entrepreneurship and organise a coordinated programme of research-related activities:

• tutorials and seminars from SICSA staff and distinguished visitors
• research workshops
• summer schools
• distinguished visiting fellowships.

Prize PhD prize studentships are offered competitively, providing opportunities to attract and retain the best national and international research students.

Summer schools, and workshops, and a distinguished visiting fellows programme, can provide substantial benefit to both post-graduate and post-doctoral researchers.
