The Artificial Intelligence Group warmly invites applications from candidates interested in pursuing a graduate research degree.
Research degrees do not involve taught classes, but require the student to work on an original research project under the guidance of a member of academic staff. Applications can be made for PhDs, MPhils and MScs by research. These courses last 3, 2 and 1 year respectively. Part-time study is possible, in which case the periods of study are normally doubled.
Please see the Group's Research and the Interests of Group Members for ideas of suitable research topics.
If you are interested in doing a research degree, you should first identify and contact a potential supervisor for your work. They will then help you develop a suitable project and advise you on submitting an application. The following staff are available to supervise research projects in the areas listed. If you can't decide which supervisor would be suitable, please contact Alan Frisch who will forward your details to the most appropriate supervisor.
A number of studentships are normally granted by the Department each year which cover tuition fees and living expenses. An additional source of funding for non-EU students is also available for students starting in October. The University also has a number of funding schemes including links to external sources of funding. These schemes include funding for UK, EU and overseas students.
Applications can be made at any time during the year, but applications should normally be made by the end of June if applying for funding from the University or Department.
General information about Research Degrees and the application procedure can be found on the Department's Research Degree webpage or by contacting the Department's Graduate Administrator.
