Applying for PhD
Your first step is to decide what research direction you want to pursue and to identify one or more potential supervisors among our faculty members. To help you find the right research direction and guide you through our application process, we offer the following two approaches to apply for our PhD programme.
-
Explore our advertised PhD opportunities. We offer a number of well-defined research ideas, which are regularly advertised on this page.
-
Propose your own research interests. We offer the opportunity to indicate your research direction and motivate your interest to work with our faculty members.
You can apply for one of our advertised projects or propose your own research interests. Whichever option you choose, our PhD program will give you the opportunity to pursue original research under the guidance of our faculty members. To be accepted onto our PhD programme, you must be enthusiastic about continuing to study computer science and must demonstrate engagement with one of our research themes. You must identify one or more potential supervisors and demonstrate your interest in their research domain. You are welcomed to contact potential supervisors informally before applying.
