Magee to pay students to attend

THE University of
Ulster is planning to offer computing students
£3,000 to study at Magee campus in Derry. |
It says the proposal
could help regenerate the economy of the city.
Students will be offered the incentive to take up
computing courses at the local campus. The move
would cost an estimated £2m a year and the
university wants the city's ratepayers to contribute
almost £400,000.
Magee's vice-chancellor Jim Allen |

said the North West
needed more computer graduates. "If we had
scholarships that were awarded competitively to high
quality students, we could attract them here, I
believe," he told the BBC.
"More importantly, we could retain them here in the
city and regenerate the city." |
