PhDs in Computer Science & IT

PhD in Computer Engineering

Computer engineering is a branch of engineering that encompasses algorithmic and digital design principles to design, to build, and to test computer software or hardware components used for information processing, communication, and storage – typically embedded in larger engineered systems and in distributed networked environments. Computer engineering is a dynamic and ever-changing profession.

PhD in Doctoral Programme in Informatics Engineering

New rules, coming out the "Bologna Declaration", leading to better compatibility and comparability of the European University degrees, as well as EU students mobility, presented a new challenge for creating Doctoral (PhD) Programs in Informatics. Informatics Engineering is seen as a broad Body of Knowledge encompassing several aspects of Computing Engineering, Information Systems and Computer Science contributing to the Conceptualization, Specification, Implementation, Validation, Maintenance and Integration of Computer-based Systems. The main objective of this Doctoral Program (ProDEI) is to promote excellence in the Applied Research in Informatics, including theoretical aspects behind the modeling and project stages of Computer-based Systems.

PhD in Doctoral Programme in Computer Science

The MAP-I Doctoral Programme in Computer Science is a joint venture of Universidade do Minho, Universidade de Aveiro and Universidade do Porto (MAP), three top Portuguese Universities. The programme represents a fusion of the doctoral offers in Computer Science in the three institutions and constitutes a unified effort to prepare highly qualified human resources in Computer Science. It becomes the sole initiative of its type in the north west of Portugal, a region with nearly 4 million inhabitants.

PhD in Computer Science

The Doctoral Programme aims to train experts who can successfully work in the computer science research, in the academic world as well as in the industrial and business field. In particular, the purpose of such programme is to educate students to use any proper instruments for setting and developing research in a rigorous way and to be familiar with the methodologies used for planning and assessing information systems and applications.

PhD in Doctoral Programme in Electrical and Computer Engineering

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (DEEC) of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto (FEUP) offers a Doctoral Programme in Electrical and Computer Engineering (PDEEC), covering the major areas of Electrical and Computer Engineering. A set of advanced mandatory and elective courses are offered during the first year, organized in two semesters. Typically the programme requires 8 courses of 7.5 ECTS, and advanced research work to be submitted and defended as a PhD thesis.

PhD in Offshore Renewable Energy (Engineering Doctorate)

The Universities of Edinburgh, Strathclyde and Exeter together with the Scottish Association for Marine Science and HR-Wallingford have formed a partnership to deliver the RCUK/ETI Industrial Doctorate Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE).

PhD in PhD Studentship in Micro Air Vehicle “Flying with Vision”

A fully-funded studentship is available for a PhD on the topic of autonomous indoor flight of a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) using computer vision. The focus of the project is on the guidance, sensing and control aspects of the problem.

PhD in Engineering Doctorate/ Professional Doctorate in Digital Media

The Engineering Doctorate (EngD) at the Centre for Digital Entertainment (CDE) is a collaboration between the University of Bath and Bournemouth University. It offers the opportunity to conduct research in an industrial context. Industrial collaborators come from the fields of computer games, VFX, image processing, graphics and animation. The program lasts 4 years, of which 3 will be spent in a company engaged on research projects, one on Masters level courses.

PhD in Process Engineering. Specialization: Tools and Processes

Doctoral studies in the programme in Process Engineering, specialization in Tools and Processes, are aimed at research work and at independent activities in the field of R&D with considerable use of computer technology and of modern equipment for the analysis of processes which take place during processing of polymer products and for the design of tools for their processing.

PhD in Applied Physics

University of Essex

This allows you to undertake research in the field of applied physics.

PhD in Computer Science PhD

The University of Manchester

The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is awarded by the University in recognition of the successful completion of a period of supervised research and training, the results of which show convincing evidence of the capacity of the candidate to pursue research and scholarship and make an original contribution and substantial addition to knowledge. The results of this research shall then be embodied in a thesis or other appropriate form and must contain material of a standard appropriate for peer-reviewed publication.
