Department of Computer Science · Computing
The PhD is a three-year (or six 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 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. 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 .
Getting in
As the university states it
The minimum academic entry requirements for a Doctorate programme are either: a 2:1 UK Honours degree in a discipline directly relevant to the PhD and an undergraduate degree at 2:1 or above or Masters award at Merit level in a discipline directly relevant to the PhD, 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.
