PhD Research

Student in the library

The Computing Department at Lancaster University offers a doctor of philosophy (PhD) degree in computer science, providing a research-oriented education in preparation for a research, industrial or entrepreneurial career. This programme explores the fundamental aspects and application of computation. Our particular areas of research expertise include:

There is extensive overlap between these areas and new areas of work such as aspect-orientation, peer-to-peer systems and grid computing (where we are involved in a number of projects) cut across the boundaries of these areas.
