Applications from individuals who wish to finance themselves will also be welcomed. Advice on the availability of British Technical Cooperation Training awards can be obtained from British Embassies, High Commissions or British Council Representatives. Advice on the availability of funding by other bilateral or international aid agencies can usually be obtained from their local offices. Each year one or two UK Shared Scholarship Scheme awards are available to outstanding applicants from non government and private sector organisations who are under 35 years of age. Candidates must have already received an offer of a place on one of our Masters or Diploma programmes.
Details are available from the course administrator.
The award for successful completion of this whole programme is an Advanced Postgraduate Diploma of the University of Manchester. Those participants who successfully complete the Manchester-based components but who are not successful in completion of the overseas components will be awarded a Postgraduate Certificate of the University of Manchester. In addition, all participants become members of the Institute of Data Processing Management, which is a leading UK professional association in its field. Enquiries are welcomed, and will receive a prompt response. Completed application forms should reach the Institute as early as possible, and preferably not later than mid-August.
