The research cooperation between the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering (Faculty 2, Fachbereich 2: Informatik und Ingenieurwissenschaften) at Frankfurt University and Plymouth University has been established in 2015.
Ph.D. candidate supervision will be provided by Frankfurt (1st and 2nd supervisor) and Plymouth (3rd supervisor). The Ph.D. degree will be granted by the Plymouth University. Ph.D. students regularly exchange research results at Ph.D. seminars in Frankfurt as well as the annual joint SEIN (Collaborative Research Symposium on Security, E-learning, Internet and Networking). The Ph.D. program undergoes strict quality assurance. Tuition fees apply.
