A brief overview of the school and the key areas we are involved in including research, teaching and commercialisation.

Historical articles and trivia marking the 20th anniversary of establishing the School of Informatics in its current shape and the 10th anniversary of the opening of the Informatics Forum.

In 1998, the School of Informatics was created through the merger of the Department of Artificial Intelligence, Centre for Cognitive Science, Department of Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence Applications Institute, and Human Communication Research Centre.

The study of the structure, the behaviour, and the interactions of natural and engineered computational systems.

There are plenty of resources within the School and the University providing help and support for both staff and students in Informatics.
