PHD COMPUTER SCIENCE AND SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
Description: Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University provide high-calibre, discipline-specific training that takes advantage of Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University’s distinctive international features and vibrant research environment. The programme, based at XJTLU, is strategic research collaboration between XJTLU and the University of Liverpool. Upon successful completion of programme student will receive a University of Liverpool-issued degree, which is recognized by China’s Ministry of Education.
Course Level: PhD,
Grants: The scholarship application is open only to those applying for full-time doctoral programmes.
1) Apply for a scholarship for a funded PhD project
One option is to apply for an existing PhD project that has received funds from the University or external funding bodies. The research topic and supervisory team for these projects have already been established.
There is no specific application deadline for a project, as it will remain open until the position is filled. The start date of a PhD programme is usually the first day of March, June, September, or December. You can visit the Postgraduate Research Scholarships Page for information about the specific PhD projects available or to contact potential supervisors to discuss funding opportunities.
2) Apply for a postgraduate research scholarship with your own project
You can also apply for a scholarship with your own project. With this option, there will be two application rounds each academic year:
Research areas:
- Computer science and software engineering: high-performance computer systems, storage systems, network systems, software engineering, cloud computing, generalised human-computer interaction, internet theory and technology, intelligent network learning environment theory and technology, computer network security, dynamic trust management theory, new-generation programming methodology, parallel computing, data mining, pattern recognition, computer vision, distributed computing, pervasive computing, deep learning, generative models, medical image processing;
