About the course

Join a vibrant and internationally-respected research community working at the cutting edge of computer science.

Study in a dynamic and challenging department, where academic rigour and excellence is at the heart of everything we do. You'll have the opportunity to work with leading academics and be part of a growing community of postgraduate researchers.

Your research

As a postgraduate researcher, you can choose a specific research project and work with a greater degree of independence than on a taught Masters course. The focus of your work will be an independent research project. We'll provide training to equip you with skills in a wide range of research methods to support your growing expertise.

Entry Requirements

To apply for this course you should hold, or expect to hold, an honours degree in computer science or a related field, with a 2:1 or first-class honours (or overseas equivalent).

We are willing to consider your application if you do not fit this profile, providing you are able to demonstrate that you have sufficient computer science knowledge and experience to succeed on the programme.
