PhD Computer Science

This PhD in Computer Science is a doctoral programme in the Department of Computer Science. It trains researchers to create new knowledge, build advanced computing systems and publish in peer-reviewed venues, while leading teams with ethical responsibility. Applicants should hold a postgraduate degree, preferably a master's or MPhil degree in computing, and foreign qualifications are assessed by the tertiary education commission. Graduates are prepared for academia and technology leadership, with the training aimed at independent investigators. Doctoral candidates are expected to work independently under supervision and to contribute original findings to their field. Prospective applicants should confirm current entry conditions, fees and the application calendar with the graduate studies office before applying, since arrangements can change from one intake to the next.
