The School provides a vibrant research environment that allows you to carry out cutting edge research projects supervised by some of the world leaders in their respective fields. Depending on your interests and project, your supervisory team may also include colleagues from across the Norwich Research Park as well as from industry thereby allowing you to gain experience working with colleagues outside your area of expertise. 

Staff research interests in Computing Sciences include:

• Computational biology and bioinformatics
• Cyber security
• Data analytics for improved decision making
• Data mining and knowledge discovery
• Graphics, vision, and speech
• Internet of things and edge computing
• Machine learning, statistics and data science
• Telecommunications and connected society

Working closely with an academic supervisor gives you the support to carry out your own independent research and make your own mark. We have a wealth of remarkable academics, but how do you know which team will be right for you?

We suggest you look at the School's website, check out some academics and read up on some of their publications. We recommend that you identify at least one member of staff at UEA who might be your supervisor and that you contact them, to express your interest and discuss your research proposal. You will need to submit a research proposal of no more than 1500 words with your application.

The minimum academic requirement for entry to a doctoral degree and MPhil degree is a UK upper second class undergraduate honours degree and a Master's degree, or equivalent.
