Computer Science,PhD

We offer advanced research training opportunities across a broad range of areas, including data science, cybersecurity, games, and numerical analysis.

Research activities are supported by three world class research centres: the Centre for Sustainable Cybersecurity, the Centre for Safety, Resilience and Protective Security and the Centre for Advanced Simulation and Modelling.

You will initiate and interpret new knowledge, led by your understanding of a substantial body of knowledge in your academic discipline. Recent projects by our research students span an incredibly diverse range of topics including the reliability of green energy systems, computational psychology, and advanced manufacturing processes. Once you complete your training, you'll be ideally suited to work in academic or industrial research environments.

You are highly encouraged to identify and contact a potential MPhil/PhD supervisor among the School of Computing and Mathematics staff members. They will guide you with your application and help you shape your research proposal.
