Overview

The Computer Science MPhil,PhD programme from Newcastle University research will be supported by an experienced computer scientist within a research group and with the support of a team of advisers.

Research supervision is available under our seven research areas. These areas reflect our strengths, capabilities and critical mass.

Key facts:

On starting the programme you'll identify and research an open question before formulating an approach to answering it. After agreeing a topic with your supervisor, you'll conduct a literature review and refine your research goals.

Following your initial research you submit a project proposal and give a presentation about your work. Once your project proposal is approved you will conduct your supervised research and write a thesis. Your thesis is also assessed by an oral examination.

Throughout the course of your research you'll write research papers for conferences and journals.
