    New MSc Intelligent Systems - -----------------

    The School of Computing and Technology, University of Sunderland is delighted to announce the launch of its new MSc Intelligent Systems programme for 24th February. Building on the School's leading edge research in intelligent systems this masters programme will be funded via the ESF scheme (see below).

    Intelligent Systems is an exciting field of study for science and industry since the currently existing computing systems have often not yet reached the various aspects of human performance. "Intelligent Systems" is a term to describe software systems and methods, which simulate aspects of intelligent behaviour. The intention is to learn from nature and human performance in order to build more powerful computing systems. The aim is to learn from cognitive science, neuroscience, biology, engineering, and linguistics for building more powerful computational system architectures. In this programme a wide variety of novel and exciting techniques will be taught including neural networks, intelligent robotics, machine learning, natural language processing, vision, evolutionary genetic computing, data mining, information retrieval, Bayesian computing, knowledge-based systems, fuzzy methods, and hybrid intelligent architectures.

    Programme Structure - ------------ The following lectures/modules are available:

    Neural Networks Intelligent Systems Architectures Learning Agents Evolutionary Computation Cognitive Neural Science Knowledge Based Systems and Data Mining Bayesian Computation Vision and Intelligent Robots Natural Language Processing Dynamics of Adaptive Systems Intelligent Systems Programming

    Funding up to 6000 pounds (9500Euro) for eligible students - ----------------------------

    The Bursary Scheme applies to this Masters programme commencing February 2003 and we have obtained funding through the European Social Fund (ESF). ESF support enables the University to waive the normal tuition fee and provide a bursary of � 75 per week for 45 weeks for eligible EU students, together up to 6000 pounds.
