Computer and Information Sciences ::


CIS is engaged in world-class research across Computer and Information Sciences, spanning Artificial Intelligence, Software Engineering, Information Retrieval, Mobile and Ubiquitous Interaction, Functional Programming, Dataflow Systems, Database Indexing and Information Science. Our broad teaching portfolio reflects this diversity: the Department offers under- graduate and postgraduate degrees across the board in computer science, information and library systems and information management. CIS supports a community of about 50 PhD students and postdoctoral research fellows. We frequently welcome international visitors and enjoy a wide variety of national and international collaborations.	Undergraduate Courses: MEng Computer Science BSc (Hons) Computer Science BSc (Hons) Software Engineering BSc (Hons) Business Information Systems BSc (Hons) Computer Science with Law BEng/MEng Computer & Electronic Systems (with EEE) Postgraduate Courses: MSc Computer and Internet Technologies MSc Information and Library Studies MSc Information Management MSc Forensic Informatics (with the Centre for Forensic Science) MRes Automated Planning for Autonomous Systems	The UK-wide Research Assessment Exercise results, published today, shows that 50% of the Department's submitted research activity is rated at 3* or above, indicating international excellence in Computer Science and Informatics. The results also indicate a dramatic improvement over the Department's 2001 position. And this improvement is continuing. Since the submission was made in November 2007, CIS has seen a major recruitment of highly research-active new academic staff. Its current position is therefore even stronger than the RAE results suggest. This is a very exciting time for Computer and Information Science at Strathclyde. More News »


We undertake research into artificial intelligence, software systems, information systems and management, mobile systems, HCI and mathematically structured programming. We have a lively programme of visitors and seminars and a large portfolio of international and cross-disciplinary collaborative projects. The Department holds external research funding from EPSRC, AHRC, EU, industrial partners, government bodies and charities. We offer a wide variety of opportunities for PhD and post-doctoral research. More Info » Our undergraduate degrees are accredited, to varying extents, by the Engineering Council, the Science Council and the British Computer Society. Our postgraduate Information & Library Studies and Information Management degrees are accredited by the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals.
For International students the University has its own services
