Computer Science

A research degree in Computer Science will equip you with skills you can use to develop new products and systems in areas where computers play an integral role.

Our research is strongly interdisciplinary and combines practical applications with a sound theoretical understanding. Our main research interests include but are not limited to:

- Artificial intelligence

- Human-computer interaction

- Mathematical foundations of computation

- Visual computing

Candidates are encouraged to have a look our research groups directly to discuss project and funding opportunities.

You may start this programme at any time. Most students start in September.
