PhD Studentships
http://www.falmouth.ac.uk/1178/research-15/phd-studentships-450.html
Research at University College Falmouth is about ideas: generating them, applying them, sharing them. Our emphasis is on practice-led and user-led inquiry that is collaborative in nature and multidisciplinary in scope.
We now invite applications for 16 new studentships for doctoral study, starting in October 2009, in areas that match our range of supervisory expertise in Art, Media, Design and Performance and that will contribute to the advancement of Cornwall’s knowledge economy.
In particular, and to coincide with our involvement in the Design Council’s Designs of the Time initiative in Cornwall, we would welcome proposals in aspects of user-centred design. Given our status as a national Skillset Media Academy and our plans for a new Academy for Innovation & Research, we are also particularly interested in questions around emerging media technologies, sustainable design, arts and the environment, creative communities, industries and networks.
We strongly recommend that applicants discuss potential proposals with one of the following members of staff - all of whom are well-placed to refer inquiries to the most appropriate colleague.

ITN LCG aims at investigating the interplay of language, cognition, and gender, for the first time from cross-language and cross-cultural perspectives.
The ITN LCG research programme is organised in four work packages (WP):
- How does language shape the cognitive representations of gender (WP A);
- How do features of European languages correspond with gender equality in European societies (WP B);

- How can gender equality be promoted through strategies for gender-fair language use (WP D).
Young fellows’ individual projects will be integrated into one comprehensive research and training network. They will be offered an innovative training in a unique combination of scientific methods that span from neuroimaging and electrophysiology over experimental techniques of cognitive and social psychology to linguistic methods of language analysis and scientific training strategies. The network is strongly based on the exchange and transfer of
knowledge between academia and public and private organisations and will provide its fellows with network-wide training activities (4 workshops, 3 summer schools, 1 scientific symposium) and training-in-collaborations (working visits and secondments). For detailed information (e.g. about the individual research projects) please contact the project manager Dr. Rachel Jossen (rachel.jossen@psy.unibe.ch).
Benefits
The young fellows will enjoy full salary employment contracts with all social securities(assurances). PhD students will get a 3 years contract, Postdocs a 2 years contract. Moreover, different surcharges as, e.g., mobility allowance, travel allowance and career exploratory allowance will be paid. The contracts can start after October 1, 2009, at the earliest convenience of the chosen candidates, once the work permit has been obtained.

The grant offered is for up to 100% of the College Tuition Fee and can be retained by students while in the College during each year of study, subject to obtaining a satisfactory cumulative Grade Point Average over the previous years courses.
Student accommodation cannot be provided, I am afraid, and therefore places can only be offered to students with parents or guardians able to house and took after them In Hong Kong. Non-residents of Hong Kong have to obtain a Student Visa.
Yew Chung Community College (YCCQ was established by Yew Chung Education Foundation as an international Liberal ArtsMumanities post-secondary/higher education College taking in school leavers with appropriate qualifications and offering them courses leading to an Associate Degree as a good means of transferring to further study at University. The Programmes offered by YCCC focus on the sort of learning required by today's Universities. We offer courses on:

> Optional Courses in Maths, Sciences, and in the Social Sciences, e.g.
o Further Maths (Pre-Calculus)

YCCC has been accredited and has had its Programmes validated by the Hong Kong Council for the Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications. It has also been registered by the Hong Kong Governments Education Bureau and its
Programmes feature on the Hong Kong Government's Qualifications Framework.
Admission to the One-year University Foundation Diploma is from Form 5 in Hong
Kong schools or Year 11 in international schools with 5 passes in HKCEEACCSEIGCSE, one of which must be English, or the equivalent from another system. Admission to the Associate Degree Programme is from successful completion of the UFD Programme, or directly from the end of secondary education (Form 7 in Hong Kong and Years 12 or 13 in international and overseas education systems) with 5 passes at HKaEtIGCSE/GCSE, one of which must be English + I A Level or 2 AS levels or the equivalent from another system. Applicants should have reasonable competence in English at IELTS Level 5.5 or better, since they will be immersed in English within the College where the medium of teaching and learning is English.
YCCC has articulation agreements with 35 Universities around the world in USA, UK, Australia, Europe and Canada, and has had Programmes accepted as suitable prior learning for entry into a number of Hong Kong and Asian Universities. YCCC's AD graduates, who meet the necessary requirements set by individual universities, have a wide choice of further study opportunities and can enter into around 100 or more different degree course*. The articulation agreements enable AD graduates with an appropriate CPA and IELTS level to enter into the second year of three-year bachelor degree courses, or to transfer credits and complete a bachelor's degree in two years. A few universities offer to take students into the final year of a degree course (top-up degree courses).
The College has small classes (around 10 to 20) and a highly interactive and tutorial style of teaching and teaming which is much appreciated by the students. As one student puts it- 'For me YCCC is a very special College. The teachers come from different places and they all have rich teaching experience. In YCCC I can use my own ways for teeming. Moreover our College has small class learning and we can study In a good environment and teachers can focus on each student to work out our strengths and weaknesses. I love my College very much."
