Students enrolled in the Ph.D. program are expected to acquire a broad knowledge in all areas of computer science, and an overall perspective of the field, its structure, and its problems. They are expected to study at least one subfield in considerable depth, and to make substantial contributions to that subfield through creative research and serious scholarship.
Students should be able to advance the basic understanding of information processes, and to contribute to the creation and consolidation of knowledge in computer science. In addition, they should be able to see and understand new problems between different areas within computer science as well as between computer science and other fields, to find imaginative solutions for them, and to carry them through.
