The PhD Computer Science programme provides the opportunity to investigate and contribute with innovative solutions to state-of-the-art technologies, research and challenges in Computer Science. The Department of Computer Science is part of the larger School of Mathematical, Physical and Computational Sciences, which includes our world leading Department of Meteorology and several national research centres. We have an active community of about 40 PhD students. Career prospects for students of our courses tend be strong, as the knowledge and skills acquired are very relevant not only to the IT and high-tech industry, but also in the large majority of the industrial and scientific domains.
