Master of Philosophy (MPhil) - Computer Science and Informatics

Studying for a PhD or MPhil in the area of computer science and informatics will see students join the School as part of a successful team of researchers with a range of industrial partners and academic collaborators. Research in computer science and informatics is all about going beyond current knowledge and technologies to build the computing systems of the future. Researchers at Cardiff are currently working on new developments in areas like computer graphics, data mining, and ‘intelligent’ mobile systems. This research will enable new kinds of computing applications, products and systems to help people in areas like healthcare, the environment, security and business.

Conducting research in computer science and informatics is exciting and challenging, and offer students the opportunity to work alongside research staff who are leaders in their areas of expertise. They publish widely, edit and review for international journals, act as external examiners both within the UK and internationally, provide consultancy and secure research funding.
