What's different this year?

1. The UK/EU residency rules have become more open - see AHRC's Student Funding Guide pages 92 – 98)

2. There are now Design studentships available as well as Curating New Media Art, so those interested in curating design, or open source or generative software design, might also be tempted to apply.

Do feel free to chat informally with me about this if you are interested.

Yours,
