The Ph.D. program with a concentration in computer science is to advance the state of the art in any area of computer science. The program covers an overall perspective of the field structure and problems. Students study at least one subfield in considerable depth, and contribute to the creation and consolidation of knowledge in that subfield through creative research. In addition, the program prepare students to be able to understand, formalize, and analyze new theoretical and/or practical problems in different areas within subfields of computer science or in the intersection of computer science and other disciplines. The University awards the Ph.D. degree in recognition of high-quality academic research that represents an original contribution to the field of computer science.
