Overview
All research students are admitted to read for the PhD Computer Science degree at The University of Cambridge, on a probationary basis and will be registered for the Certificate of Postgraduate Study (CPGS) in the first instance.
During this year students may do some additional coursework and will write a research report that is likely to form the foundation of the eventual PhD thesis.
Features
- At the end of the third term and on completion of the CPGS, students whose performance indicates that they would be able to complete a PhD in a reasonable time will be upgraded to PhD status.
- A student who is not upgraded to PhD status will normally be awarded the CPGS ( and if no more than three terms have been completed) but will leave before submitting a PhD thesis.
