     Stipends available for MSc Intelligent Systems
    ----------------------------------

    We are pleased to announce that for eligible students we have obtained
    funding to offer a bursary for our new MSc Intelligent Systems
    worth up to 6000 pounds or about 14.000 EURO as fee waiver and
    stipend for eligible EU students. Please forward to students who
    may be interested

    The School of Computing and Technology, University of Sunderland
    is delighted to announce the launch of its new MSc Intelligent Systems
    programme for 24th February. Building on the School's leading edge
    research in intelligent systems this masters programme will be
    funded via the ESF scheme (see below).

    Intelligent Systems is an exciting field of study for science and
    industry since the currently existing computing systems have
    often not yet reached the various aspects of human performance.
    "Intelligent Systems" is a term to describe software systems and
    methods, which simulate aspects of intelligent behaviour. The intention
    is to learn from nature and human performance in order to build more
    powerful computing systems. The aim is to learn from cognitive science,
    neuroscience, biology, engineering, and linguistics for building more
    powerful computational system architectures. In this programme a
    wide variety of novel and exciting techniques will be taught including
    neural networks, intelligent robotics, machine learning, natural language
    processing, vision, evolutionary genetic computing, data mining,
    information retrieval, Bayesian computing, knowledge-based systems,
    fuzzy methods, and hybrid intelligent architectures.

    Programme Structure
    --------------
    The following lectures/modules are available:

    Neural Networks
    Intelligent Systems Architectures
    Learning Agents
    Evolutionary Computation
    Cognitive Neural Science
    Knowledge Based Systems and Data Mining
    Bayesian Computation
    Vision and Intelligent Robots
    Natural Language Processing
    Dynamics of Adaptive Systems
    Intelligent Systems Programming

    Funding up to 6000 pounds (about 14.000Euro) for eligible students
    ------------------------------

    The Bursary Scheme applies to this Masters programme commencing
    February 2003 and we have obtained funding through the European
    Social Fund (ESF). ESF support enables the University to waive the
    normal tuition fee and provide a bursary of £ 75 per week for 45 weeks
    for eligible EU students, together up to 6000 pounds or 14000 Euro.
