Overview

Our Intelligent Systems MSc provides you with knowledge of the various models of computational intelligence, an insight into their theoretical basis, and the skills to apply the associated techniques to a wide variety of industry problems.

Course modules include Computational Intelligence Research Methods, Fuzzy Logic, Natural Language Processing and Mobile Robots, and you will have opportunities to use the knowledge you acquire in a range of application areas to suit your interests, from robot control to games development.

Our curriculum includes modules based on research by the Centre of Computational Intelligence (CCI), which has an established international reputation, providing students with theoretically sound solutions to real-world decision making and prediction problems. Previous students have published papers with their CCI project supervisors and some have gone on to study a PhD.

Throughout your studies you will have the flexibility to tailor your learning style and subjects specifically to your requirements.

Teaching and assessments

The course consists of an induction unit, eight modules and an individual project. The summer period is devoted to work on the project for full-time students. If you choose to study via distance learning, you would normally take either one module per semester for four years or two modules per semester for four years plus a further year for the project.

Graduate Careers

Graduates typically follow careers in robotics programming and research, games development, control systems, software engineering, internet businesses, financial services, mobile communications, programming, software engineering and many more. A number of past graduates are now studying for PhDs.
