5 Fellowships in Computer Science

Sometimes scholarships offered by universities are designed for all specialties, but sometimes they apply only to those who choose a particular field of study. The compilation presents five scholarships intended for specialists in Computer Science - starting with the master's level and ending with post-doctoral programs. The proposals are very diverse - from the classical Swiss Higher Technical School of Zurich, one of the ten best universities in the world, to the University of King Abdulaziz in Saudi Arabia.
