Dear All,
Goldsmiths has excellent funding for PhD research in games, and links to over 100 games companies in the UK, through leading the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Intelligent Games and Game Intelligence (IGGI). We plan to recruit three PhD students at Goldsmiths on the IGGI programme to start in September 2016.

See www.iggi.org.uk<http://www.iggi.org.uk/> for further details - but highlights of the PhD programme are:
·  4 years of full funding covering fees and stipend (of around £14,000 per year, tax free) as well as funding for travel to partner sites, conferences and training courses .
·  A cohort of 35+ PhD students all conducting research into games topics with 11 or 12 PhD students at each of the Universities of York, London (Goldsmiths) and Essex.
·  A 4-year programme which includes around 6 months of intensive training in research skills, game programming, games design and advanced game-related topics, given at 3 sites at the Universities of York, London (Goldsmiths) and Essex.
·  Research topics in Intelligent Games (advancing research AI, Human-Computer Interaction, Graphics, Audio, Software engineering, etc. and working with our games industry partners to embed that research into better commercial games).
·  Research topics in Game Intelligence (advancing research the use of digital games for outcomes in science, society and culture, for example to understand the economies of game worlds, to build games to engage and inform voters, to build games for therapy and education, ...).
·  Placements within the games industry during the programme - a short 2-week placement and a longer 6-week to 6-month placement. One of our students from the class of 2014 will soon start
