The University of Sussex is pleased to be one of a select group of top British universities invited to participate in the Science Without Borders mobility scheme from September 2012.
Science without Borders is a Brazilian Government scholarship programme which aims to send 100,000 Brazilian students on undergraduate sandwich courses, PhD sandwich courses and full PhDs to selected universities around the world to study in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and the creative industries over the next 4 years. 10,000 of these students will enrol on programmes within the UK.
The scheme is being administered by CAPES and CNPq on behalf of the Brazilian government, and supported in the UK by Universities UK.
As one of the Universities selected to take part in this scholarship scheme, the University of Sussex is looking forward to welcoming Brazilian students into the following departments from September 2012:

Research students
Applications are invited from suitably qualified research students sponsored under the Science without Borders Scholarship Scheme. However, please note, whether you are planning to apply for a one-year visiting programme or for a full 3-year degree, we can only support your studies if the University has expertise, and an available supervisor, in your area of interest.
Before proceeding with your application, we would strongly recommend that you read about the extensive research interests on the Doctoral School website.
Once you are confident that Sussex has the expertise to support your research, we invite you to contact a potential supervisor in the department to discuss possible research projects. If you are having difficulties in finding a suitable supervisor, please email a summary (maximum 500 words) of your research interests to Julie Carr in the Doctoral School Office E: J.L.Carr@sussex.ac.uk.
For further information on pursuing a research degree at the University of Sussex (including finding a supervisor and writing a research proposal) please visit Choosing a research area.
Direct online applications are invited from full PhD students who have been awarded funding under the Science without Borders scholarship scheme. Details of the application process can be found on the Doctoral Schoool website.
