Artificial Intelligence and Adaptive Systems (with an industrial placement year) MSc

About

The study of natural and artificial intelligent and adaptive systems is at the heart of rapidly developing areas. These range from artificial intelligence and autonomous robotics to neuroscience, consciousness and cognitive science.

This MSc prepares you for research and development in intelligent and adaptive systems. You'll cover theoretical issues and practical techniques for their design and implementation.

You can choose to organise your studies around one of these areas:

artificial intelligence and cognitive modelling
robotics and autonomous systems
data science, machine learning and natural language processing
computational biology and consciousness science.

You’ll learn from experts at the forefront of their fields. We host the Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems Research Group, the Data Science Research Group and the Sussex Centre for Consciousness Science. We also have many successful business collaborations.
