Undergraduate and taught postgraduate study in ILCC

ILCC is part of the School of Informatics and does not run its own undergraduate or MSc programmes. ILCC staff are involved in teaching and supervising projects across many Informatics degree programmes, especially those involving Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Data Science, and Design Informatics. 

ILCC staff are also involved in the MSc in Speech and Language Processing run by the school of Philosophy, Psychology, and Language Sciences.

Prospective PhD students

In ILCC, we are always looking for bright, enthusiastic students with strong backgrounds in one or more of the following areas: speech and language processing, maths, engineering, linguistics, informatics, computational linguistics, computer science or cognitive science. We encourage potential PhD students to first study for a master's degree, as this permits a year of in-depth exposure to the kinds of research you will be undertaking before embarking on a particular project. Potential students may be admitted directly to the PhD program if they have carried out prior postgraduate study, or in exceptional circumstances.

To get an idea of what a PhD in ILCC might do for your career, please take a look at our Alumni page.

If you are interested in doing a PhD with us, you will need to identify a potential research topic and supervisor.  You may wish to pursue one of the PhD research topics suggested by members of ILCC, or to propose your own research topic.  If you choose the latter option, we advise consulting our research page, people page and individual staff web pages to find out more about staff research interests.  After narrowing down your possible research topics you may also wish to contact one or two potential supervisors directly to discuss the suitability of your research proposal.
