The Doctor of Philosophy (Computer Science), or PhD (CS), offers a unique combination of scientific and engineering appeal in Information and Communication Technology. It provides candidates with the opportunity to conduct in-depth research and development and also equips candidates with the ability to perform professional analysis, design, implementation, testing and documentation. Throughout the programme, candidates will be encouraged to participate in such knowledge-enhancement activities as seminars / talks / workshop / conferences, and publish their research finding and outcomes in international journals. Knowledge developed in this field will further enhance the capability of the nation to utilize the human and natural resources of the country efficiently. Overall, the UTAR’s doctoral programme in Computer Science intends to produce graduates who are competent and highly skilled, have broadened and deepened knowledge, and are able to conduct advanced research and development in the vast areas of Computer Science.
