PhD Admissions

PhDs are post-graduate degrees - in order to be admitted onto a PhD program, you need a first degree in a related subject. Usually we ask for a good honours degree in Computer Science or a related discipline, (e.g., Electrical Engineering) or else an MSc degree in a related discipline.

PhDs may be studied in either full-time mode (typically three years) or part time. The Department has funding to support PhD students, although this is limited. Funded PhD students have their tuition fees paid and also receive a bursary towards living costs. We welcome applications from students who wish to fund their own PhD studentship.

Postgraduate research students will also benefit from automatically being a member of the University's Graduate School, which co-ordinates the University's research training and provides support for all postgraduate research students.

The Department offers a range of topics for research, particularly in the areas of agent technology, complexity theory and algorithmics, logic and computation,
