Your postgraduate research study is mainly carried out through an unique project with both theoretical investigation and practical application, which leads to your contribution to new knowledge generation.

Your study will be an effective combination of your independent investigation and support from your supervisors with the required expert knowledge through regularly meetings with them.

Academics staff will also provide any necessary support to your study.

Dependent on your individual project, there will be an element of software application for system modelling, analysis and optimisation and an element of verification and validation test of the new algorithms, methods, models, frameworks and approaches etc.
