Ph.D. Program
Introduction
The placement of a postgraduate student at the Ph.D. level is normally
decided at the beginning of graduate studies. During the first year the
student completes his/her general teaching requirements, while at the
same time s/he studies specialized research topics. The placement of a
student at the Ph.D. level signals the beginning of the research part
of his/her programme, the duration of which is at least two years. In
order for a student to be eligible to submit his/her thesis, s/he must
successfully take, no later than the fifth semester, a qualifying examination,
and submit a research proposal which is accepted by the Department. The
examination of a Ph.D. thesis involves an open presentation by the student
of his/her research work and an oral examination by a five-member committee,
consisting of three internal and two external members.
For every student at the research stage of the Ph.D., the department
appoints a Research Supervisor. The candidate student selects a member
of the academic staff who is willing to undertake the supervision of the
student as his/her Research Supervisor. The student's choice must be approved
by the Postgraduate Programmes Coordinator. The Research Supervisor guides
the student in his/her research and provides the necessary help and advice.
Admission to a Ph.D. programme requires high academic qualifications
in Computer Science and the ability on the part of the Department to supervise
the research topic that is of interest to the student.
