PhD Computing

The University of Brighton has an international reputation for research in computing, notably in areas of security systems, heritage technologies, Vetronics (Vehicle Electronics), user-experience and natural language generation.

Our supervisors across the broad scope of PhD Computing include world-leading experts in their subject areas with extensive track records in PhD supervision. The university provides a comprehensive training scheme to support all postgraduate students. Our aim is to train the next generation of computer scientists to produce world-class research that has strong academic, societal, industrial and economic relevance. The skills our students acquire are designed both to support their doctoral research and enhance their future employability.

With employability one of our key objectives, our computing graduates go on to diverse future careers, from AI start-ups, data science jobs in industry and the public sector, to academic careers at UK and international universities.

The School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics and hosts weekly Computing Research Seminars with a line-up of external and internal speakers, in which PhD students are encouraged to participate, both by attending and presenting seminars. Coming together for these seminars ensures broad knowledge of state-of-the-art research on a variety of topics and enables staff and students to network and engage with other researchers in a professional context.
