The academic staff in the Applied Computing Department (ACD) are all engaged in research and publications. Considering its modest size, ACD has successfully attracted research funding from various sources in the UK and the EU, including industry, research councils, HEA and EU framework projects such as FP6. Furthermore, ACD has been working and collaborating with many European research institutions.
For the academic year, 2012-2013, two PhD and six MSc students (one in Mathematics) have graduated, four of whom graduated with Distinction. The two PhD students have made it for the March graduation and the University of Buckingham expects to have three or four more completing their PhD research programmes for the next graduation. One of their new PhD students in Computing joined the Department last October, and three other PhD students have joined them since. Over the last few years, the number of research students in ACD has grown steadily to (currently) 29 PhD and two Master’s research students.
The University of Buckingham has had over 20 refereed conference and journal papers published during the last 12 months, and two of the papers have been awarded best paper awards.
ACD supports diverse research topics addressing varied applied computing technologies such as:
As well as researching the chosen subject, the University of Buckingham’s students engage in delivering seminars weekly, attending conferences and workshops, attending online webinars and discussion forums, attending training and focused group studies, supervising tutorial and laboratory sessions for undergraduate students, peer reviews and final year project supervision, among a host of technical and networking activities to enhance their skills and techniques.
