University of Sussex
Postgraduate MSc Full-time 1 Year

About this course

100% of our research impact in Computer Science and Informatics was assessed to be world leading or internationally excellent (REF 2021)

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.

    To help you gain experience and increase your employability, you can apply for an optional placement as part of your course. This can be a fantastic opportunity to gain real-life insight into industry as well as skills valued by employers. You’ll be responsible for applying for and securing your placement. Our dedicated careers team can help you:

  • find an employer

  • draft an application

  • prepare for interviews.

    Don’t worry if you’re not successful, you’ll simply transfer to a non-placement version of your course.

    We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible.
