Course summary

Study for your Masters by research in a dynamic and challenging department, where academic rigour and excellence is at the heart of everything we do. You will have the opportunity to work with leading academics and be part of our community of scholars. We welcome applicants who share our vision and want to undertake innovative and exciting research as part of our academic community. Join researchers from across the globe, who are pushing the boundaries of their fields within the discipline of Computer Science. As a Masters by Research student, you can choose a specific research project and work with a greater degree of independence than on a taught masters course. The focus of your work will be an independent research project, and we will provide training which will equip you with skills in a wide range of research methods to support your growing expertise.During your course, your academic progress will be assessed through a range of methods, including formal and informal meetings, written work, seminars and presentations. Your research will culminate in a thesis of up to 50,000 words, which is expected to display a systematic understanding of knowledge and a critical awareness of the issues within your academic discipline.
