As a research student within the School, you undertake original individual study in a specified area of computing under the guidance of an academic supervisor. You become a member of one of our research groups, where you work alongside other students and staff engaged in work in your field.
We have many partnerships, both nationally and internationally, with universities and industry. You are encouraged to engage with these partners, as well as forge your own relationships in the wider research community.
PhD study is extremely rewarding, as it gives you the opportunity to contribute something completely new to your area and to establish yourself as an expert. It also requires stamina, creativity and discipline.
