*About the department*

The Department of Computer Science at Royal Holloway carries out
outstanding research and delivers excellent teaching at both undergraduate
and postgraduate level: we ranked 11th in the Research Excellence Framework
(REF 2014) for the quality of our research output, and our average rating
for Teaching Excellence Framework criteria in the 2017 National Student
Survey placed us 4th among research-intensive UK universities.

Over the past five years, we have undertaken an ambitious plan of
expansion: eleven new academic members of staff were appointed, new
undergraduate and integrated-masters programmes were created, and five new
postgraduate-taught programmes were launched. We are involved in multiple
inter/multidisciplinary activities, from electrical engineering to
psychology and social sciences.  The critical mass achieved by our research
centres in information security and machine learning is also generating
many approaches from potential users and collaborators.
