Computer Science PhD

University of Surrey

Our PhD research programme provides you with the opportunity to study a wide range of computer science topics. These include technologies and systems for securing online businesses and our lives, technologies inspired by nature for solving complicated real-world problems in areas such as transport and health, and real-world applications of advanced technologies in cyber security and machine learning. Our expert supervisors, highly rated research activities and excellent facilities mean you’ll be a specialist in your field by the time you complete your PhD. Surrey Centre for Cyber Security (SCCS), led by the School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, is one of only 19 Academic Centres of Excellence in Cyber Security Research recognised by the UK government. It is particularly strong in interdisciplinary research with subject areas including electrical and electronic engineering, biomedical sciences, psychology, business, sociology and law. We also have strong ties with global research institutes, such as the University of Oxford, Microsoft Research Cambridge, KU Leuven (Belgium), McMaster University (Canada) and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) for joint PhD projects. Many PhD projects are undertaken in collaboration with industrial partners. We strive to excel in our research, with many members of staff publicly recognised as experts in their respective fields.
