Every year, university staff visit overseas to meet and advise students who may be interested in studying at Southampton. International Office staff can provide you with information, advice and assistance from the moment you start considering whether to study in the UK, right through to making your application and registering at the University. Required competency in the English language: guidance for applicants to the School of Education If the IELTS (or equivalent) is below 5.5 (or equivalent), the application will not be considered, although you may reapply when you have obtained a score nearer or above our minimum score of 6.5 (or equivalent). If the IELTS (or equivalent) is 5.5 or above (or equivalent), but below 6.5 (or equivalent), the application will be processed in the usual way but any offer will be made conditional upon attending and being successful in an intensive language course of appropriate duration in the University’s Language Centre, and on subsequently getting 6.5 (or equivalent) or above in IELTS (or equivalent). If the IELTS (or equivalent) is 6.5 (or equivalent) or above then no language competency condition will be attached to your offer. The above criteria are applied without prejudice to the rest of the selection process and they do not preclude us from attaching other conditions to your offer or from rejecting your application on other grounds. A record is kept of all applications in each of the three categories above so that we can monitor our equal opportunities policy in action. Scholarships

Scottish Universities' International Summer School 2010 In January 2002 the well-known playwright and theatre director John McGrath died. The Scottish Universities International Summer School has set up a scholarship in memory of John McGrath, who was a good friend of the School and whose classic text The Cheviot, the Stag and the Black, Black Oil is part of our curriculum. The Scholarship has been made possible by the generosity of the Scottish Arts Council, the Russell Trust, the Royal Academy for Music and Drama in Glasgow, and many individual contributors. The Scholarship will be payable in Edinburgh as a deduction of the Summer School’s course and accommodation fees, which cover the costs of all tuition, accommodation, most meals, a social and cultural programme and includes full use of the facilities of the library of Edinburgh University. The successful candidate will be offered a free place on either the Text and Context Course or the Creative Writing Course. The Scholarship does not cover travel expenses or spending money. Applications for this special Scholarship are now invited from present or recent students and junior lecturers who specialise in Twentieth Century Theatre Studies and/or are practically involved in the Theatre. Normally, applicants will be required to have a research interest and/or practical experience in the general field of Twentieth Century popular and political theatre.

Applicants should indicate on page 4 of the application form if they would like to be considered for the John McGrath Scholarship in Theatre Studies, and include a letter explaining their reasons for applying. We require one of your referees to support this scholarship application. If unsuccessful, applicants to the Text and Context course can be considered for a SUISS scholarship.

SICSA prize studentships competition for the best and brightest in informatics & computing 25/02/2010
An annual studentship competition for the best and brightest in informatics and computing SICSA offers up to 20 prize studentships per year to the very best students from anywhere in the world. Our aim is to attract the research leaders of the future, whatever their nationality or place of residence, to come and work with us in Scotland. Each SICSA student will spend 3 to 4 years as part of a programme coordinated across the partners. These students will catalyze new collaborations across the research community, and lead the next generation of excellent computing researchers. In 2010, we will be offering up to 20 SICSA prize studentships, across Scotland. We are looking for outstanding applicants in any area of computer science and informatics. We are particularly interested in applications from students who want to work in one of the SICSA research themes. SICSA prize studentships are funded jointly by the Scottish Funding Council (SFC) and the university where the studentship is held. They are worth around £18,000 per year for 3.5 years. This includes support for living expenses of around £13,000, research expenses and postgraduate fees at the level charged to students who are UK/EU residents. Additional support may be available to students who are not UK/EU residents and who would normally be required to pay the full postgraduate fee. The level of this support, however, depends on individual universities and cannot be guaranteed. SICSA is committed to Scottish research collaboration, including excellent researchers in smaller groups as well as those in larger units. Studentships are therefore available at all Scottish Universities that are members of SICSA. To reinforce the collaborative nature of SICSA, each studentship will involve cross-site supervision. Formally, however, each student would be registered in the traditional manner, at a single degree-awarding institution. Studentship conditions It is a condition of the award of a studentship that SICSA-funded students must take a number of graduate training courses, attend at least one SICSA summer school and agree to participate in Scottish Graduate Academy activities. To be considered in March 2010, applications must be received by the deadline of 28th February 2010. Remember, you have to fill in both a university application form and a SICSA prize studentship application form.
