  • PhD by Prior Publication
  • MPhil.

We also welcome enquiries from candidates who wish to spend one year at City University London as part of a PhD Sandwich programme.

Degree Pathway

Research students are initially registered for the degree of MPhil. Promotion to PhD registration is contingent upon the satisfactory outcome of a review process. This normally takes place towards the end of the first year of registration for full-time candidates and towards the end of the second year for part-time candidates.

The PhD programme concludes with the candidate submitting their research in the form of a PhD thesis and attending a viva voce examination with two examiners, at least one of whom will be external to the University.

Research Areas

The main research areas in the department are:

  • Human-Centred Systems
  • Software and Systems Engineering
  • Information Intensive Computing
  • Centre for Software Reliability

Within these areas, we offer MPhil/PhD routes:

  • MPhil/PhD in Computer Science
  • MPhil/PhD in Software Reliability
  • MPhil/PhD in Human Computer Interaction
  • MPhil/PhD in Health Informatics
  • MPhil/PhD in Creativity Science
