Our renowned research profile attracts funding grants and projects from major national and international funders as well as business and industrial partners and public sector bodies. Research in the department covers a broad range of sub-disciplines of Computer Science including from interdisciplinary perspectives with the aim of exploring fundamental scientific questions as well as responding to key societal challenges and opportunities in an increasingly complex digital world.

Our remarkable growth in research income sees 60% of funding grants coming from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), with further funding from the UK government, European Research Council (ERC), and UK and international business and industry. Training and development is offered to staff to advise them on funding plans and grant applications, as well as identifying and supporting potential candidates for prestigious research awards such as ERC grants and EPSRC fellowships.

Our research groups and hubs

Our research is organised into research groups as well as cross-cutting hubs that provide a virtual clustering of researchers around major areas of computing research impact. This structure supports commitment to research of the highest scientific quality, and our ambition of ensuring the external impact of our research.
