Overview

In this Computer Science programme from University of Kent you will work closely with your supervisor, a member of academic staff, who is your principal source of support.

If you choose a research area that has interdisciplinary aspects, you may have more than one supervisor. In addition to regular supervision, you will be supported by a supervisory panel of three academic staff who provide further structured input and guidance.
