Most students are registered in the first instance for the degree of MPhil. Students are expected to carry out supervised research at the leading edge of their chosen subject, which must then be written up as a substantial thesis. The transfer from MPhil to PhD is subject to students passing an assessment process, which normally involves submission of written work and an oral examination.
The final stage of the PhD degree is the oral or viva voce examination, in which students are required to defend the thesis to a Board of Examiners.
Qualifications and durations
* Full-time MPhil 1-3 years
* Full-time PhD 2-4 years
* Part-time MPhil 2-4 years
* Part-time PhD 3-6 years

Main areas of research
Human Computer Interaction
We have an extensive programme of research in HCI, including interaction design, mobile and pervasive computing, computer-supported co-operative work, computer-mediated communication, theories and methods for evaluating user interfaces, safety-critical systems, distributed interaction, creativity, participatory design, and cognitive information processing in interactive systems. Active application areas include context aware service discovery for mobile devices, aircraft flight deck design and evaluation, healthcare informatics and telemedicine, collaborative virtual environments, e-commerce, groupware, and generation of help and explanation facilities.
Graphics and Media Technology
Our research programmes include animation, visualisation, image recognition, photorealistic and nonphotorealistic rendering, application of computer graphics to film and computer music. Active application areas include processing live action video into cartoons for animation, representing movies with vectors, virtual friends, facial animation, virtual physics for games and VR.
Mathematical Foundations
Research in the Mathematical Foundations group at Bath focuses on the use of mathematics to understand computing, and the use of computers to understand and perform mathematics. Active areas of interest include: design, implementation and semantics of programming languages; game semantics, category theory, logic and proof-theory; computer algebra, computational geometry, cryptography, networks and security.
Intelligent Systems
The research activity at the University of Bath includes intelligent agents, modular and distributed intelligence, artificial-life models of natural intelligence, neural networks, machine learning, evolutionary computing, reactive planning and a variety of formal knowledge representation techniques. Active application areas include e-commerce, modelling non-human task learning, providing mathematical services over the web, and expressing emotions in VR characters.
