Strathclyde iSchool Research Group

The iSchool Research Group (SiRG) investigates arising socio-techno phenomena and evolving information systems and behaviours. 

Looking up a spiral staircase

Mathematically structured programming

The group is looking at the development of programming languages for the future.

Cyber security concept background

Computer & Information Sciences Cyber Security Group (StrathCyber)

The Cyber Security Group (StrathCyber) is part of the Department of Computer & Information Sciences. We take a holistic approach to cybersecurity, encompassing technical, human, societal and organisational perspectives. We collaborate with academics, industry, Government and Third Sector organisations, producing internationally recognised research that makes a difference. We welcome PhD students from across the world, and teach Undergraduate and Masters students.

Digital health & wellness

Our research interests and work includes looking at the full development lifecycle of truly person-centered digital health & wellness services and products.

Futuristic artificial arm.

AI@Strathclyde

AI@Strathclyde distinguishes itself from what is pursued elsewhere via its emphasis on putting people at the heart of AI. We insist that the utility of these technologies within a human environment is central to their development.

Computer Science Education Research Group

The Computer Science Education Research Group conducts research and undertakes scholarship activities on Computer Science learning and teaching, pedagogy, and innovation in higher and professional education. The group members have expertise in: the use of Artificial Intelligence in education, programming and learning difficulties, assessment and feedback, project supervision models, cyber security education, gamification and visualisation in education, blended and hybrid learning, student monitoring techniques, and improving programming education/understanding.

We welcome UK and international PhD students with diverse and interdisciplinary interests who are interested in Computer Science education.
