Our multidisciplinary research includes areas in human-computer interaction, computer vision, simulation and modelling, operational research and computational intelligence.

The main focus of our research lies in the development of various intelligent systems and computational techniques with applications to a wide range of real-world problems. Our multidisciplinary research includes areas in human–computer interaction, computer vision, simulation and modelling, operational research and computational intelligence.

The research conducted within the School is generally encapsulated by the aims and scope of the Centre for Intelligent Computing (CIC), which is linked to several University-wide priority areas. CIC complements the four research themes pursued at the UK Campus, but also takes full advantage of the specific research expertise of staff involved in cross-campus co-supervision of research projects.

Our postgraduate computer science students have access to advanced computing labs, specialised software and cutting-edge technology to turn research ideas into reality. We aim to prepare our students to face the challenges of tomorrow and to succeed in their chosen fields.
