The Department of Computer Science is an international centre of excellence and is located in the Merchant Venturers Building in the centre of Bristol along with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, bringing together the research in computing, communications, electronics and photonics within the University.

The Bristol region has one of Europe's largest concentrations of high-technology industry. Computers, communications and microelectronics are well represented, alongside digital media, computer games and electronic commerce. The Computer Science Department has close relationships with many of these organisations via collaborative projects, staff secondments and visiting industrial staff.

Research groups The Department of Computer Science has a large programme of research supported by industry, the European Union, and UK government research establishments and public corporations. The academic research programme is organised into the following groups:

The The undertakes innovative, collaborative and interdisciplinary research resulting in world leading technology in the areas of computer vision, image and video communications, content analysis and distributed sensor systems. Current research includes: images and video search and retrieval; video tracking; visual SLAM; medical and bio-imaging; machine vision; 3D and multi-view processing; colour science; high dynamic-range imaging, vision and graphics.

Our Members of the Our The newly formed We are also involved in a number of research centres spanning across different parts of the University. For example, the pioneering

English Language Requirements

IELTS band: 6.5

IMPORTANT NOTE: Since April 2014 the ETS tests (including TOEFL and TOEIC) are no longer accepted for Tier 4 visa applications to the United Kingdom. The university might still accept these tests to admit you to the university, but if you require a Tier 4 visa to enter the UK and begin your degree programme, these tests will not be sufficient to obtain your Visa.

The IELTS test is most widely accepted by universities and is also accepted for Tier 4 visas to the UK- learn more.
