Artificial Intelligence and Adaptive Systems MSc

University of Sussex

In the Age of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the study of intelligent and adaptive systems is essential. On this course, you’ll develop a strong understanding of the field through areas such as machine learning, natural language processing, robotics, consciousness and cognitive science. By studying at Sussex, you’ll:
• benefit from our unique, historic strength of interdisciplinarity between AI, cognitive science and neuroscience
• develop a comprehensive understanding of intelligence and adaptive behaviour in both artificial and living systems
• explore the theory and mathematical foundations of AI and machine learning
• develop techniques for designing and implementing artificial systems in practice
• learn from experts at the forefront of their fields. Based within our Department of Informatics, you’ll join a thriving community of research excellence. We’re home to leading research hubs including Sussex AI, the Data Science Research Group and the Sussex Centre for Consciousness Science. This course provides a strong foundation in AI, with modules in mathematics for complex systems, machine learning and adaptive systems. From there, you can choose to organise your studies around one or more subdisciplines:
• robotics, autonomous systems and artificial life
• machine learning and natural language processing
• computational biology, cognitive science and consciousness science. You’ll also refine your technical report skills through select modules and your MSc project.
