University of Montreal (Canada) Scholarships for Masters and Postgraduates

The University of Montreal offers a scholarship to study for a master's or graduate school.The work is carried out under the guidance of Professor Mikhail Bessmeltsev in a research group that develops new algorithms for creating and processing 3D models and 3D, 2D animation.The results of the group's work are published in the most cited scientific journals of computer graphics, such as ACM TOG, SIGGRAPH.

What are the benefits?

First, the scholarship.Students who enter the research team will receive funding of up to C $ 18,000 per year.

Secondly, it is an opportunity to get a quality education in the best student city.The University of Montreal is ranked 90th among universities worldwide according to the Times Higher Education rankings.And according to a student survey from QS Top Universities, Montreal is an ideal city to study.

Thirdly, this is a chance to apply all your knowledge of mathematics, algorithms and machine learning to solve complex problems in graphics.You will learn a lot of what it takes to work for companies such as Adobe, Autodesk, Google, Pixar, and Disney.

I want to take part.How do I apply?

The admission process includes two stages:

1. First, fill out an application in Google.Docs by link.Deadline: December 1, 2018.
