| Overview The aim of the MSc programme is to provide a one-year specialist course for very able graduates in arts or science fields, preparing them for research and development work on intelligent systems. A proportion of the students should be able to continue to do DPhil work on fundamental artificial intelligence research or applied research on intelligent systems. Students are introduced to theoretical issues in artificial intelligence and computing science, and to practical techniques for designing and implementing knowledge-based systems using a variety of high-level languages. The course is organised around a small core of compulsory courses leaving a wide choice of optional courses, including courses from Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems, Human-Centred Computing Systems and Cognitive Science. |
| Programme structure The MSc consists of a programme of full-time study running from October in one year to the following September, or part-time study over two years. This course is also offered as a Postgraduate Diploma. |

Assessment The MSc dissertation (maximum 12,000 words) is equivalent to 4 courses (which is one third of the MSc mark). To be awarded the degree, students must gain a pass mark in the dissertation and in at least six of the courses. |
