The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Computer Science at the University of Wollongong (UOW) in Penang builds upon your prior knowledge and experience in the field. Unlike bachelor’s programs, which typically involve three years of coursework, the PhD program focuses primarily on supervised research, with fewer preparatory coursework classes. This emphasis allows you to concentrate on completing a dissertation that addresses a specific gap in knowledge.

This program prepares students for highly specialized fields within computer science and equips them for teaching roles at the tertiary level. A strong desire to deepen your understanding of a particular area in computer science is essential.

Students will enhance their expertise in computer programming and mathematical frameworks through independent research, developing critical research skills through two taught modules: Research Methodology and Algorithm Design & Analysis.

Overall, this PhD program offers an opportunity to engage in in-depth exploration of computing algorithms, models, programming, and mathematical computational frameworks.
