$heading = "First-year Ph.D. taught course requirements"; include ("../head"); > In addition to general requirements of the University and of the Informatics Graduate School, ICSA expects its Ph.D. students to have a knowledge and understanding of the following computer systems areas, to a level equivalent to an Edinburgh Honours graduate:
Where necessary, first-year students must attend appropriate M.Sc. modules to rectify any shortcomings in their technical background. Also, supervisors will prescribe attendance at M.Sc. modules, or other courses or workshops offered within the Division, that are particularly relevant to a student's research area.
ICSA will also organise some informal, short, graduate-level courses, usually in third term, on particular research topics under active investigation within the institute. All first-year Ph.D. students are encouraged to attend these courses. $upsite = ""; $upname = "ICSA postgraduate page"; include ("../tail"); >
