Programme Structure

Curriculum:

The School of Computing & Engineering is active in pure and applied research, knowledge transfer and industrial projects.

There are a number of dedicated laboratories for researchers.

This strong and dynamic background means postgraduate researchers will join a group of about 30 research candidates involved in extending both new knowledge and professional practice.

All postgraduate researchers are required to initially take and complete a Postgraduate Certificate in Research Methods to support the development of their project and their education as researchers.

We also offer a range of further research training events, postgraduate researcher-led seminars, conferences and summer schools – as well as training offered through other universities and bodies.
