The Computing MPhil at the University of Worcester is designed for ambitious individuals seeking to undertake in-depth, original research within the dynamic field of computing. You will engage with complex research questions, supported by a dedicated supervisory team whose expertise spans areas such as computer games, e-business, social media, and technology-driven behaviour change. This postgraduate programme is ideal if you possess a strong academic background and a passion for contributing new knowledge to computing, particularly within the focus areas of the Digital Innovation and Intelligent Systems research group.
This full-time, on-campus MPhil is typically studied over two years, though many students extend to four years to complete their research. Your journey begins with developing a comprehensive research proposal, supported by modules from the Researcher Development Programme including "Approaches to Research" and "Planning Your Research Project." You will collect and analyse data under expert supervision, with opportunities to present your findings at conferences. Throughout your studies, you will undergo regular Annual Progress Reviews and, towards the end of your second year, have the opportunity to transfer to a PhD, preparing you for academic or advanced industry research roles.
