Our Computer Science Integrated PhD combines taught Master's computer science modules with research.


This Integrated PhD in Computer Science provides an opportunity to make a unique contribution to computer science research. You'll work within a research group, guided by experts and supported by a team of advisers.


Our Computer Science Integrated PhD (IPhD) allows you to match your studies with your interests. You can choose from a wide range of modules and select your own focus for your final project.


Research excellence


We are leading on several initiatives of national and international significance:


  • EPSRC Northern Health Futures (NortHFutures) Hub (since 2023)
  • EPSRC National Edge AI Hub (since 2024)

We are also collaborating with our regional partners on major consortium projects such as the EPSRC £2.5m investment in the North East Space Communications Accelerator (NESCA). This is a collaboration between:
