Graduate Programmes
Digital Science in UBD offers two (2) graduate programmes
Masters of Science in Computer Science in the Mathematical and Computing Sciences Group, Faculty of Science (FOS), is a programme that fosters pure and applied research in different areas of Computer Science. MSc by Research in Computer Science includes the elaboration of short projects in a broad range of pure and applied research topics. The research projects must be original, incorporate modern techniques and methods, and contribute to the advancements of the fields of Computer Science. Candidates will perform a research project under the supervision of Computer Science staff members.
Programme Details
Aims and ScopeThe MSc Programme in Computer Science aims to make scientists with high level specialised training, in order to cover the increased needs of Industry in related aspects. Also, students wishing to continue their studies at a PhD level, will be able to prepare for the conduction of a PhD research on relevant topics.. Also, students wishing to continue their studies at a PhD level will be able to prepare for the conduction of PhD research on relevant topics. The scope of the Programme is to provide students the necessary specific scientific information, as well as to train them to develop their skills and analytical capabilities.
StructureStudents conduct an approved research project, with the supervision of one or more staff members. Upon completion of their research, they submit a Thesis, which normally does not exceed 60,000 words.
Assessment- Compulsory modules SR-5101. These are modules that all postgraduate students must read and pass to satisfy their graduation requirement.
- Assessment includes examination of the thesis by internal and external examiners. As stipulated in the relevant UBD regulations the examiners may subject a candidate to an oral examination or any other test they think necessary to assess the acceptability of the thesis. Periodic assessment of the progress of the candidate is carried out as stipulated in the relevant UBD regulations.
PhD in Computer Science in the Mathematical and Computing Sciences Group, Faculty of Science (FOS), is a programme that fosters pure and applied advanced research in various Computer Science areas. PhD in Computer Science include the elaboration of original projects with an international research impact, which incorporate modern techniques and methods, in a broad range of pure and applied research topics. Candidates are expected to work diligently and they should be able to perform integrated research under the supervision of Computer Science staff members. They should be able to carry out analytical and experimental research and to synthesise and interpret the relevant data in a timely manner. The PhD candidates must also participate actively in research team meetings, as well as in Symposia and Conferences. The Programme is designed for qualified individuals, who wish to acquire advanced knowledge, as well as analytical and research skills, and significantly contribute to the advancement of Computer Science fields.
Programme Details
Aims and ScopeThe PhD Programme in Computer Science aims to make scientists with high level specialised training, in order to cover the increased needs of Industry, Research Institutions and Academia in related aspects. The scope of the Programme is to educate students to become independent researchers, as well as to train them to develop advanced scientific skills and analytical capabilities. The candidates are also expected to become capable to design scientific projects, to develop independent critical thinking and ability for proper scientific interpretations.
