MPhil Computer Science

The MPhil consists of one year of research culminating in an MPhil thesis and often leads to a full PhD. The Department of Computer Science is one of the largest in the UK covering a huge spectrum of Computer Science topics. We currently have research groups ranging from Advanced Processor Technologies to Text Mining.Our core Computer Science research is augmented by interdisciplinary research taking place at the interface with discipline areas including mathematics, physics, medicine and biology.

Students need to have a minimum academic entry requirements for an MPhil programme is: an undergraduate degree at 2:1 or above in a discipline directly relevant to the MPhil, or equivalent international qualifications; Whilst the most common first degree is Computer Science, we also consider students with backgrounds in an appropriate subject for the research topic (e.g. mathematics, physics, engineering, biology and medicine); The school may require a 1st Class Honours degree or international equivalent for some research projects. This requirement is specified at the discretion of the academic supervisor involved under the relevant advertised project. All applicants will need to demonstrate competency in English language
