Scholarships available for EPCC MSc in HPC programmes
30 May 2025
Applications for our John Fisher Scholarships close on June 30, 2025.
EPCC's on-campus MSc programmes in High Performance Computing (HPC) and HPC with Data Science will enter their 25th year in September 2025. HPC is the use of powerful processors, networks and parallel supercomputers to tackle problems that are very computationally or data intensive. The same HPC techniques can be used to program the world's largest supercomputers containing many thousands of CPUs or GPUs, or to exploit the full potential of a multi-core laptop. It will appeal if you have a keen interest in programming and would like to learn about HPC and parallel programming.
Although the programmes have changed dramatically over the years, the core aim remains the same: to provide you with a thorough grounding in HPC technologies and their practical application. The Data Science theme also covers the key ideas and techniques used to extract knowledge from data and the HPC tools that underpin them.

We are offering up to two scholarships for the sum of up to £15,200 each, named in honour of John Fisher who was head of EPCC user support until 2007.
These awards will be tenable for one academic year from September 2025 and will be automatically deducted from your tuition fee.
The final closing date is 30th June 2025. Note that you must have already applied for admission to the University of Edinburgh and this can take some time to process, so please start your MSc application as soon as possible.
