It is the principal goal of the UK Institute of Informatics (UKII) to educate researchers in Informatics; this research field comprises:
The study of the structure, behaviour, and interactions of both natural and artificial computational systems. Informatics studies the representation, processing, and communication of information, in natural and artificial systems. It has computational, cognitive and social aspects. The central notion is the transformation of information - whether by computation or communication, whether by organisms or artifacts.
UKII is a member of the European Educational Framework EEF.
