The Division reflects the University's vision of Informatics as a fundamental area of study, critical for the future developments in science, engineering, and society. The Division was formed from the former Departments of Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science and Computer Science. The Division has positions for new research degree students pursing either an MSc(Research) (one year), an MPhil (two years) or a PhD (three years) through investigation of open problems in Informatics. The Division now contains about 70 academic staff, 60 contract researchers and 150 research students, grouped primarily into these research institutes: Artificial Intelligence Applications Institute Institute for Adaptive and Neural Computation Institute for Communicating and Collaborative Systems Institute for Computing Systems Architecture Institute of Perception, Action and Behaviour Institute for Representation and Reasoning Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science which reflect the main research themes in the Division: adaptive computing artificial intelligence automated and mathematical reasoning cognitive science computational complexity computational learning theory computational linguistics computational musicology computational neuroscience computer-assisted formal reasoning computer architectures and networking computer communication and protocols computer graphics and virtual reality computer science computer vision database systems design and analysis of dependable systems diagramatic understanding formal program specification functional, logic and object-oriented programming genetic/evolutionary algorithms human-computer interaction intelligent tutoring systems knowledge representation and reasoning knowledge-based systems machine learning medical informatics mobile and assembly robotics modular and component-based systems natural language processing neural modelling neural networks neuroinformatics parallel, distributed and concurrent systems planning and activity management probabilistic graphical models program logics programming languages qualitative and fuzzy reasoning semantics of programming languages software engineering speech understanding and generation system level design and integration theory of computation type theory The UK Engineering and Physical Science Research Council has awarded the Division about 8 full studentships that can be used by UK and EC students. Overseas students may be eligible for ORS awards, that pay approximately half of the total costs. In general, students should have a good BS/BSc degree (or equivalent) in an appropriate topic, plus other skills appropriate to the particular research area.
