The Department of Computing Science is one of the foremost in the UK, setting itself the highest standards in research and teaching. It forms part of the Faculty of Information and Mathematical Sciences and was rated as one of the top 10 computing science departments in the UK in the 2008 RAE.
The academic staff comprises 8 Professors, 10 Senior Lecturers, and 17 Lecturers. These are supported by an IT Officer, a Systems Manager, 2 Programmers, 4 Technicians, a Departmental Administrator, a Teaching Administrator, an Information Officer, and 4 staff. Currently there are also 3 Honorary Professors, 6 Research Fellows, 30 Research Assistants, and about 78 Research Students.
The Department provides an invigorating and friendly working environment. It is large enough to sustain a rich diversity of interests, but small enough for everyone to know everyone else. The departmental ethos is that of a team working together to deliver high-quality research and teaching.

Research Funding
EPSRC-funded research projects 24, EC-funded projects 6, industrially funded projects 7, and several research fellowships. The current grants and fellowships total more than £6M.
