PhD Computer Science

The PhD is a three and a half year (or seven year, if taken part-time) degree resulting in a substantial thesis. The Department of Computer Science is one of the largest in the UK covering a huge spectrum of Computer Science topics. We currently have areas of expertise ranging from Neuromorphic Systems to Systems and Software Security. Our core Computer Science research is augmented by interdisciplinary research taking place at the interface with discipline areas including mathematics, physics, medicine, biology and engineering. A detailed overview of the Department's research groups and core and interdisciplinary research themes is available in the 'research' area of our website and you can identify a possible project from our list of available projects .

The standard academic entry requirement for this PhD is an upper second-class (2:1) honours degree in a discipline directly relevant to the PhD (or international equivalent) OR any upper-second class (2:1) honours degree and a Master's degree at merit in a discipline directly relevant to the PhD (or international equivalent).
