Students are guided by one to one supervision and have further structured input and advice from a panel of academics. Research students attend teaching development and research issues courses in their first year, and if they wish, can gain professionally and financially by teaching on undergraduate programmes. We have compiled an FAQ to provide you with information specific to undertaking a PhD by research in the Computing Laboratory at the University of Kent at Canterbury.

However, we welcome research suggestions from you and would be keen to accommodate these if we are able to provide appropriate technical support and expertise.
