Programme specification:

At the end of the programme students should:
- have a broad understanding of the principal computational models used in Artificial Intelligence;
- be proficient in the technical and programming skills required to implement Artificial Intelligence systems;
- have an in-depth understanding of an area of specialisation, gained during the main project;
- be confident in applying the research methodology adopted for the main project on new problems;
- be prepared for further study either in the context of professional development or through further engagement in higher education.

The programme will:
- situate the study of Artificial Intelligence within the general context of computational modelling and complex systems.
- give an unusually wide perspective on Artificial Intelligence, covering evolutionary models, statistical and symbolic learning algorithms, qualitative reasoning, visual perception, language understanding, and bio-computation.
- be rooted in established research strengths of the School and will offer the opportunity for students to work as integral members of our research groups during their main project.
- prepare strong graduates from a range of disciplines, with some computing experience, to embark on doctoral research into the design of Artificial Intelligence systems.
- include innovative and exciting new topics on bio-inspired computing (e.g. DNA computers).
