PhD Informatics

Research is led by scientific curiosity and motivated by social, economic and industrial needs. We have strong links with local and national industry – not least because most practical problems demand an interdisciplinary approach.

AREAS OF STUDY

As a research student, you're associated with one or more research groups in the Department of Informatics:

• Data Science
• Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems (EASy)
• Foundations of Software Systems
• Creative Technology.

We welcome research proposals in all of the areas our faculty specialise in. Our interdisciplinary research involves key roles in the Centre for Computation Neuroscience and Robotics (CCNR), the Sackler Centre for Consciousness Science and the Sussex Humanities Lab.

For a PhD, your research work makes a substantial original contribution to knowledge or understanding in your chosen field.
