Course summary

About the course

The DPhil in Computer Science is an advanced research degree, awarded for a significant (new) contribution to the existing body of knowledge in the field of computer science. The degree will introduce you to cutting edge research, while you study in a beautiful, historic setting that is both student- and family-friendly.

You will work with world-class experts in their field. Supervision is available in areas corresponding to the department’s research themes. Cross-disciplinary work corresponding to more than one theme, or involving researchers from other departments or from industry, is also possible.

The course combines individual supervision with a selection of lecture courses, transferable skills training and opportunities to participate in cutting-edge research activities. During your study at Oxford, the department hopes to share with you some of the excitement about the topics the department investigates, and of the understanding the department has gained from research into basic theory and by industrial collaboration.

The development of computer science at Oxford has been heavily supported by research grant funding from the government, EU and science foundations, as well as donations and sponsorship from the department's industrial partners. The department is committed to offering you the best supervision and to providing a stimulating research environment.

The DPhil normally takes three to four years of full-time study to complete. You are expected to continue working outside of the University terms with an annual holiday of approximately eight weeks.
