PhD Computing Science
Our research cuts across the intersection of theoretical and applied computing. In the UK's 2014 independent research exercise, we were rated top in Scotland for research impact.
Overview
Research sections
- Formal Analysis, Theory and Algorithms (FATA)
- Glasgow Interactive SysTems (GIST) (aka HCI)
- Information, Data and Analysis (IDA)
- GLAsgow SyStems (GLASS)
- Centre for Computing Science Education (CCSE)
Research themes
- Cyber security
- Healthcare technologies
- Media and data science
- Programming languages
- Understandable autonomous systems
The vibrant research culture of our School strongly encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration with each research section running its own seminar series, as well as contributing to a weekly research forum.
We have over 50 academic staff and more than 100 PhD students. Our research strategy is based on combining world-leading theoretical work with practical applications and much of our research has created high public impact.
Our research degrees enjoy world-wide prestige and we offer postgraduate programmes of outstanding quality. Postgraduate students benefit from the best possible support and supervision and, on graduating, they are well qualified to take up key posts in industry and academia.
Computing Science has held a departmental Bronze Award from Athena SWAN since October 2015, recognising our commitment to provide the resources necessary to eliminate gender bias and create an inclusive culture that values female staff.
