Intelligent Systems MSc /PG Diploma /PG Certificate

Capitalizing on the recent growth in interest in artificial intelligence and intelligent robotics, this course aims to provide you with knowledge of the various models of computational intelligence, skills in the associated computational techniques, an insight into their theoretical basis, and the ability to apply these techniques to a wide variety of problems. There are two similar courses within the department providing you with the flexibility to tailor your learning style and subjects specific to your requirements. You may also be interested in Intelligent Systems and Robotics MSc which has a robotics focus. Computational intelligence encompasses the techniques and methods used to tackle problems not well solved by traditional approaches to computing.

The four areas of fuzzy logic, neural networks, evolutionary computing, and knowledge-based systems encompass much of what is considered to be computational (or artificial) intelligence. There are opportunities to use these techniques in many application areas such as robot control and game development depending on your interests. Modules include work based on research by the Centre of Computational Intelligence (CCI). With an established international reputation, their work focuses on the use of fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, evolutionary computing, mobile robotics, and biomedical informatics, providing theoretically sound solutions to real-world decision making and prediction problems. Past students have published papers with their CCI project supervisors and gone on to Ph.D. study.

Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

Entry criteria

You should have the equivalent of a British Honours degree (2:2 minimum) in a relevant subject.

We are happy to consider equivalent qualifications from anywhere in the world.

If you have no formal academic qualifications but do have extensive industry experience we will consider your application on an individual basis.

If you feel you would like to talk to us about your qualifications before submitting an application please do not hesitate to call or email using the contact details below.

Whilst the University tries to ensure that all of its programmes run as advertised it is sometimes necessary to make significant changes to the structure of the programmes or to discontinue a programme entirely if for instance there are insufficient student numbers or staff changes. This will sometimes happen between an offer being made and enrolment.

Where changes are made the University will endeavour to inform applicants as early as possible to minimise the potential disruption to the application process. Where possible an alternative programme will be offered in a similar subject area.

In cases where programmes are changed or discontinued the University will send a communication to you electronically and/or by hard copy outlining your options.
