SAS STUDENT FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME

The prestigious SAS UK Student Fellowship Programme is part of the SAS Global Academic Programme. The Programme provides students conducting their final thesis research with free SAS software licences for one year*. Successful applicants are also provided with discounted access to SAS e-Learning training modules in order to use the software optimally. Students also have access to expert SAS advice via the free SAS Customer Helpline. SAS may at its sole discretion extend the licence for a further year.

Upon graduation the student may claim a SAS Student Fellowship Certificate from SAS UK.

In return, SAS will require acknowledgement in the thesis of the company's contribution to the research, as well as a copy of the thesis for our records. Should the thesis topic be of exceptional interest to SAS or its customers the student may be asked to present a paper at a SAS conference or event. Successful applicants will also be featured on the SAS UK Academic website, together with abstracts of their research topics.

"SAS expertise has never been more valuable or more in demand. SAS is not only used today for statistics courses but also in marketing, finance, economics, molecular biology, engineering, life sciences and more...
