PhD in Computer Science

University of Nottingham Malaysia

The main focus of research in the School of Computer Science at the University of Nottingham Malaysia (UNM) lies in the development of various intelligent systems and computational techniques with applications to a wide range of real-world problems. The school’s multi-disciplinary research includes areas in image processing and computer vision, AI and applications, human-computer interaction and ubiquitous computing, software engineering, E-Learning, simulation and modelling, and computational intelligence.Our work focuses on pushing the boundaries of computer science and artificial intelligence while fostering collaborations with leading local and international research organizations, universities, government agencies, and industries that can benefit from intelligent computing.We offer high-quality doctoral training to postgraduate students who wish to pursue an MRes, MPhil or PhD. As a research student you will work under a supervisor who will assist you in your research and thesis design. Most research programmes are based on the research interests of staff members within the school, however if you are privately funded and wish to pursue research in alternative areas we support the opportunity to consider other projects.Why choose this programme?Our Postgraduate Programmes are continuously expanding in response to changes in society and the need to integrate the latest research findings.We are committed to educating graduates who are well prepared for the challenges of a knowledge based economy in the 21st Century.Course contentParticular research areas of interest are:Image Processing and Computer VisionArtificial Intelligence and ApplicationsHuman-Computer Interaction and Ubiquitous ComputingSoftware Engineering and E-LearningAll new postgraduates who join the school have the opportunity of broadening and updating their knowledge. A taught programme of research and transferable skills will be available to you as well as being able to attend lecture programmes on subjects relevant to your research. All postgraduate students are encouraged to present their work at specialised conferences and to publish papers in major scientific and engineering journals.CareersOur postgraduate degrees in computer science and software engineering produce highly employable postgraduates and provide the basis for rewarding and lucrative careers. They will prepare you for careers in a range of technical disciplines including artificial intelligence, machine learning, Internet of Things (IoT), computer vision and software engineering. They are an excellent foundation to pursue academic and industry career opportunities such as computer scientists, data scientists, consultants and R&D software engineers.Job prospectsOur degrees in computer science and software engineering produce highly employable graduates and provide the basis for a rewarding and lucrative career. They will prepare you for careers in a range of technical disciplines including artificial intelligence, multimedia, network management, programming and software engineering. They are also an excellent foundation for doctoral studies.
