Course summary

To complete a postgraduate research programme, you’ll need to be dedicated and passionate about your area of study. But it’ll be well worth it. Being a doctoral student is challenging, yet incredibly rewarding. You are expected to carry out a programme of research in a particular area under the supervision of a primary supervisor and one or more co-supervisors.Theoretical Computer Science forms the foundations of computing. One of its primary aims is to provide a mathematically grounded theory for developing sophisticated algorithms for real-world problems. This includes mathematical modelling of algorithmic approaches, estimation of the complexity of computational problems, and understanding the limits of efficient computation through computational complexity. The Algorithms and Complexity theme is led by Professor Kristina Vušković. Research within the theme includes graph theory, logic and model theory, combinatorial optimisation, scheduling theory, algorithms on graphs and data structures, the computational complexity of problems on discrete structures, randomized algorithms, probabilistic analysis of algorithms and approximation algorithms.
