The Scholarship Division of the Ministry of Higher Education provides several scholarship programmes to international students to pursue their higher education in Malaysia. The financial aid provided by the Scholarship Division, MOHE are: i) Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan The Malaysian Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan are awarded by the Malaysian Government to the nominated students from the Commonwealth countries to study at the post-graduate level in Malaysia. Applicants must have a minimum standard of upper second class honours or CGPA of 3.5/4.0 at bachelor’s degree level. In addition, applicants for Ph.D must possess very good result at Master degree level in a similar field of intended Ph.D study. ii) MTCP Scholarship The MTCP Scholarship for Post-Graduate Studies provides opportunities for students to pursue advanced academic study in Malaysia. This scholarship is a Government-to-Government basis, without any bond imposed by Malaysia. Sch

PhD Project in Computer Science/Computational Intelligence (Fitness/Search Space Characterisation with a View to Choosing Problem Solvers and their Parameter Settings)@Swinburne University of Technology (Melbourne, Australia) Project title: Fitness Space Characterisation for Stochastic Combinatorial Optimisation Research topic: Stochastic optimisation methods such as Genetic Algorithms and other evolutionary approaches are used to find approximate solutions to combinatorial problems when the problems are too complex to be solved deterministically through mathematical approaches. So far, evolutionary algorithms have been applied to individual combinatorial problems such as bin packing and resource allocation. Certain algorithm and parameter variations are regularly reported to improve results obtained from a particular problem. This project aims at investigating ways – stochastic, mathematical or statistical – of probing the fitness space for clues about the characteristics of

The Institute of International Forestry and Forest Products of TU Dresden is seeking candidates for joining the two-year Master programme Tropical Forestry and Management. The Master’s course aims at qualifying graduates to deal with the growing challenges of sustainable forest management in the tropics and subtropics. Special emphasis is given to the interactions among human being and forest formation development. Its international orientation towards forest management and socio-economics of forestry in the tropics and subtropics makes this programme unique in Europe. For its excellent performance in the past the Master´s course has been awarded with the quality label “TOP 10 international Master’s Degree Courses Made in Germany” in 2008 by the Stifterverband (German Science Council) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Deadline for self sponsored students: 30 August 2010 for starting in October 2010 Deadline for DAAD scholarships: 30 September 2010 (document

These awards acknowledge students who have reached a high level of academic achievement throughout their high school career. With the exception of the Wesson Honors Scholarship, there is neither a separate application or deadline for these scholarships. As part of our rolling admissions process, students will be informed of the award decision at the point of acceptance. For international students, the admissions committee will recalculate your GPA based on equivalent letter and number grades from the Official High School Transcript you submit. Wesson Honors Scholarship - up to $68,000 over four years Students with a 3.75 GPA are eligible to apply for the Wesson Honors Scholarship. This $17,000 per year scholarship includes direct admission into the Wesson Honors Program. It is renewable annually for four years of study dependent upon good academic standing in the Wesson Honors Program. Founders Scholarship - up to $64,000 over four years Students with a 3.5 GPA are eligible
