PhD degrees in the Division of Informatics
at the University of Edinburgh
In 1998, the University of Edinburgh established a Division of
Informatics, to study the structure, behaviour and
interactions of both natural and artificial computational systems.
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 over 75 academic staff and about 100 research
students, grouped primarily into these research institutes:
Artificial Intelligence Applications Institute
Institute of Computing System Architecture
Institute for Adaptive and Neural Computation
Institute for Communicating and Collaborative Systems
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
category and type theory
cognitive science
computational complexity
computational learning theory
computational linguistics and natural language processing
computational musicology
computer and network architectures
computer communications and networks
computer graphics and virtual reality
computer science
computer vision
database systems
design and analysis of dependable systems
diagramatic understanding
distributed systems
formal program specification
human-computer interaction
intelligent tutoring systems
knowledge representation and reasoning
knowledge-based systems
medical informatics
mobile and assembly robotics
neural modelling
neural networks
parallel, distributed and concurrent systems
planning and activity management
programming languages
qualitative and fuzzy reasoning
software engineering
speech understanding and generation
system level design and integration
The UK Engineering and Physical Science Research Council
has awarded the Division a number of 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.
