Computing PhD

University of Brighton

The University of Brighton's international reputation in computer science has been demonstrated through impact studies and outputs at each of the Research Excellence Frameworks (REF2014, REF2021). That reputation is especially notable in areas of machine learning, computing for the arts and cultural heritage, security systems, Fintech, robotics AI, human-centred AI, user-experience and natural language generation. Our researchers take an applied and impact-orientated stance on research output, tackling the overarching societal, environmental and economic challenges through the development of human-centred and intelligent systems for dynamic and complex environments. We welcome approaches for PhD computer science projects from a number of areas of specialism. For those who join us, we offer excellent support from supervisory staff and the wider department, enabling you to enjoy life as a researcher and the pathway to completing a meaningful project. 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.
