Research
Research in the department encompasses a variety of topics, ranging from advancing the foundations of computing to exploring novel, interdisciplinary applications. The activity is strengthened by a range of collaborations, including within the University, nationally, and internationally. Recent large-scale funding has resulted in the establishment of cross-faculty centres of research which bring together emergent technologies and target disciplines. The Department is consistently ranked amongst the top Computer Science Departments in the UK in independent surveys.
Information on applying for a research postgraduate degree is available on the postgraduate admissions pages. Visit also our research-related taught MSc courses, the MSc in Cognitive Systems and the MSc in Computer Science and Applications, which can be your entry point for a research degree at CS Warwick.
Information for current postgraduate research students is available as the Research Degrees Handbook.
Information for staff is available from the Academic Office, Graduate School, on Guiding Research Work and on Research Examinations.
