When you undertake your PhD in the Department of Computer Science, you'll be assigned a supervisor who will normally meet with you once a week to provide support.
If you're involved in interdisciplinary projects or projects with an external partner, you may be supported by a supervisor from outside the University, and interact with a wider range of staff.
This core training programme is designed to help you successfully complete your PhD and improve your personal effectiveness.
It includes sessions on writing skills, managing data, interviews and how to get your work published.
If English is not your first language, the University's International Study and Language Institute (ISLI) can help you develop your academic English skills.
ISLI also offers three doctoral thesis writing programmes in partnership with the Doctoral and Researcher College. These are available free of charge to EU and international students.
The University’s dedicated range of specialist support teams are here for you, whether you are on campus or studying remotely.
We also offer the Life Tools programme, a series of free talks designed by experts to help you take control of your personal and professional development.
