Postgraduate Research
| Information about PhD studentships for 2010 will appear shortly. |
Aims and strategies
We aim to produce Computer Scientists with internationally recognised expertise in their own field of research, who have an awareness of current industrial, environmental and academic research problems and are capable of applying their scientific and transferable skills to problems outside their field of training.
The Department offers a range of topics for research, particularly in the areas of agent technology, complexity theory and algorithmics, economics and computation, logic and computation,
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 or MSc degree in Computer Science or a related discipline, (e.g., Electrical Engineering). PhDs would normally involve full-time study (typically for three years) although it is sometimes possible to study for a PhD part time with the agreement of the Head of Department. Please note that there is currently no online PhD Programme in the Department.
The Department has some (limited) funding to support PhD students, who will 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.
