About the course

Study for your doctorate in a dynamic and challenging department, where academic rigour and excellence is at the heart of everything we do. You will have the opportunity to work with leading academics and be part of a growing community of doctoral scholars.

　　We welcome applicants who share our vision and want to undertake innovative and exciting research as part of our academic community. Join researchers from across the globe, who are pushing the boundaries of their fields within the discipline of computer science.

　　You can define a specific area of study which aligns with your research interests. Alternatively, you can apply for one of our PhD opportunities: some are funded studentships, while others are proposals for self-funded applicants. Either way, you'll work ly with your supervisor and the wider Department to achieve your research goals.

　　Typically, the normal period of enrolment for PhD study (i.e. from initial enrolment to submission of the thesis) is three years for a full-time student and six years for a part-time student. However, you may be permitted extra time (a 'continuation period') to write up your thesis after ending your formal enrolment at the University.
