<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0; font-size:9pt;"><br></p><span style=" font-size:9pt;">Foi instituida bem recentemente a "Zienkiewicz Scholarship" (em homenagem ao</span><br>
<span style=" font-size:9pt;">falecido Prof Zienkiewicz) exclusivamente para custeio do doutoramento de</span><br>
<span style=" font-size:9pt;">alunos estrangeiros na Escola de Engenharia da Universidade de Swansea. A</span><br>
<span style=" font-size:9pt;">primeira rodada na concessao dessas bolsas sera para alunos iniciando seus</span><br>
<span style=" font-size:9pt;">estudos em setembro/outubro de 2009 (aqueles desejando se candidatar</span><br>
<span style=" font-size:9pt;">deverao, portanto, faze-lo o mais rapidamente possivel).</span><br>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px; -qt-user-state:0; font-size:9pt;"><br></p><span style=" font-size:9pt;">O principal objetivo dessa bolsa e' atrair alunos de grande potencial para</span><br>
<span style=" font-size:9pt;">desenvolvimento de pesquisa de qualidade internacional nas varias areas de</span><br>
<span style=" font-size:9pt;">atuacao dentro da Escola de Engenharia em Swansea (estas estao listadas no</span><br>
<span style=" font-size:9pt;">arquivo em anexo juntamente com as informacoes relativas a candidatura a</span><br>
<span style=" font-size:9pt;">bolsa). O valor da mesma e' de £25000/ano por aluno por um maximo de 3 anos</span><br>
<span style=" font-size:9pt;">- este valor cobre por completo as taxas escolares e despesas de</span><br>
<span style=" font-size:9pt;">manutencao). Pelo que eu saiba, esta e' a primeira vez que uma bolsa dessa</span><br>
<span style=" font-size:9pt;">natureza (bolsa integral destinada a alunos de fora da Comunidade Europeia)</span><br>
<span style=" font-size:9pt;">e' oferecida em Swansea. Acredito, portanto, que esta e' uma otima</span><br>
<span style=" font-size:9pt;">oportunidade para alunos desejando cursar o doutorado no Reino Unido.</span><br>

<span style=" font-size:9pt;">For those interested in obtaining one of these Scholarships, the first stage is to submit a "Declaration of Interest" in the form of a CV, transcripts and a short PhD proposal. A panel of top academics within the School will then scrutinise the applications and then make a recommendation on whether or not a formal application should be made and the level of the award.
