Course Description
|
The School of Computing Science is recognised as an international leading centre of research in areas including: distributed systems; grid and cloud computing; bioinformatics; security, trust and resilience; human-computer interaction; system modelling and reasoning. It offers an exciting environment for graduate students in its four research groups and recognised specialist centres. The School has consistently been awarded high research ratings in national and international assessments.
The PhD provides substantial training in research methods and tools and gives you an opportunity to make a unique contribution to computer science research. You work under the guidance of an experienced computer scientist within a research group and with the support of a team of advisers. Before you begin, you choose a broad area of interest within computing science and a supervisor with appropriate expertise. The first year involves background research to help you identify an open research question and to formulate an approach to answering it; you also take short courses on research skills, innovation and career development. Following approval of your detailed research topic, the remaining time is spent conducting your supervised programme of research, and writing a thesis which is assessed in an oral examination.
The MPhil programme provides a grounding in research skills and works towards a thesis which shows self-direction and originality in solving research-related problems.
Entrance Requirements
A first-class or upper-second-class Honours degree or a Master’s degree (or qualifications of comparable standing) in computer science or a related discipline. For research in complex systems, bio- or neuroinformatics, human computer interaction and business, social and theoretical computing, we also accept degrees in subjects relevant to those research areas. Applicants whose first language is not English require IELTS 6.5, TOEFL 90 (Internet-based) or 577 (paper-based), or equivalent.
Our INTO Newcastle University Centre can provide extra tuition to help you meet the University's English language requirements.
