UCL PhD activity is currently focussed in UCL Interaction Centre and Computer Science. UCLIC is a world leading Centre of Excellence in Human-Computer Interaction teaching and research, studying interactions between people and technology, drawing on the best scientific traditions in Computer Science and Human Sciences, and working collaboratively with the research community and industry. In the 2014 Research Excellence Framework, the following REF score was awarded to the department: 83% rated 4 ('world-leading') or 3('internationally excellent'). More information is available on the UCLIC website. You can also explore our current PhD student projects and the GDI Hub supervisors: Cathy, Tim & Youngjun.

We also have growing links to a number of departments and research centres across UCL. If you are interested in completing a PhD in one of these centres and collaboration with GDI Hub, please contact Cathy and also the research centre to discuss possible opportunities:
