Overview

Key Facts 

Research in Computer Science and Informatics  from Cardiff University is all about going beyond current knowledge and technologies to build the computing systems of the future. Technologies we now take for granted, like the web, smartphones, and databases, are all products of past research in computer science and informatics. So what will the future bring?

Researchers here at Cardiff are currently working on new developments in areas like computer graphics, data mining, and ‘intelligent’ mobile systems.

 We hope that our research will enable new kinds of computing applications, products and systems to help people in areas like healthcare, the environment, security and business.

Conducting research in computer science and informatics is exciting and challenging and we offer you the opportunity to work alongside our research staff who are leaders in their areas of expertise. 

They publish widely, edit and review for international journals, act as external examiners both within the UK and internationally, provide consultancy and secure research funding.

Career prospects

This postgraduate research programme will prepare you for a career as a leading academic or in an industrial research and development role. Successful graduates will be able to demonstrate to employers both a deep understanding and broad knowledge concerning contemporary computer science from a research and development perspective.

Examples of career pathways include: Software Developer, Lecturer, Web Developer, Software Engineer, Software Architect, Technical Consultant, IT Specialist, and Support Analyst.

Programme Structure

  • Research in the school is organised into three Research Groups. Each one is led by a distinguished professor and is made up of academic staff, research assistants, and research students.
  • Over the course of their studies, research students will normally publish a number of papers and attend conferences that will help them work towards their thesis.  To be successful, these papers will contain new ideas and research results that will go beyond current knowledge in computer science and informatics. The student’s supervisors will help them develop these ideas and achieve results, and other members of the student’s research group will help them communicate and improve their ideas and results.
  • Research students attend a programme of seminars given by invited speakers, as well as seminars given by specialist research group members.  Each year students attend training events which develop their skills by presenting posters and talks on their own project.
