If you would like to apply for a place on our programme (with or without funding), then please see how to apply on the Graduate School website, or apply now via the online application form. Next start date of the programme for potential applicants is 24 September 2012.

Applying for the combined Masters+PhD: find Complexity Science under "Research" on the Graduate School website and/or in the online form. There is no application fee. Where the Application Form invites a full research proposal, it is sufficient to tell about your motivation for research in Complexity Science.

MSc only applicants: find Complexity under "Taught" [Courses] on the Graduate School website and/or in the online form website. Note that we cannot offer EPSRC funding for MSc-only applicants. There is also a modest application fee for these applications.

Funding

For UK students we have a limited number of EPSRC studentships covering tuition fees, plus a premium level of maintenance grant, ca £14,000 pa.

EU students can also qualify for funding as per UK above, provided you satisfy both of the following:
(a) you will have been ordinarily resident (includes for study) in the UK for the three years immediately preceding when you would start with us;
(b) you have a relevant connection with the UK (it is in some sense already your home).
If you are seeking funding on the above basis, please apply as soon as you can because it can take time to confirm your eligibility - these are UK Government rules, not our own.

For other EU students the main EPSRC funding can only cover fees, not maintenance allowance, except for entry from Autumn 2011, 1 studentship per year can cover maintenance too, for an exceptional candidate.

For funding of other students from outside EU, and for maintenance of non-resident EU students, our scope to offer any funding through the DTC is extremely limited. A new EPSRC rule allows us to offer 1 studentship per year to an exceptional student of any citizenship, including maintenance grant and fees at the EU rate. For exceptional candidates with predominantly mathematical bent, there may be a possibility for the Mathematics department to pay the difference between overseas and EU fees.

Apart from these, we can only direct you to general (and still rather limited ) funding opportunities advertised by Warwick Graduate School: click here for this funding advice. Warwick Postgraduate Research Scholarship. In many cases the main sources of funding available to you will be from within your home country. In all cases it is advisable to apply without delay: many deadlines are surprisingly early.
