Department of Computing

# PhD Research Degree The Department of Computing at Imperial College is an internationally leading research institution offering an exciting research environment for prospective postgraduate students. In the UK Research Assessment Exercises we were awarded the highest research rating of 5* in 2001, were ranked second overall in the most recent exercise in 2008 scoring 3.20, and rated as "Excellent" in the most recent national assessment of teaching quality. Imperial is consistently rated among the United Kingdom’s top three universities, and was ranked 2nd in Europe and 7th in the world for engineering and information technology by the Times Higher Education - QS World University Rankings. The research degree programme leads to the degree of PhD. The programme may be followed in either full-time or (occasionally) part-time modes, for which the minimum periods of registration are two or three calendar years, respectively. The time taken for a full-time student to complete the PhD programme is normally three years from the date of initial registration. The Department of Computing normally has about ten EPSRC competitive studentships, available annually, covering home fees and a bursary of about £15,500 available for suitably qualified students who also meet the EPSRC residency criteria. The Department may offer various other scholarships for EU and overseas candidates.
