An MSc programme consists of eight taught modules and an individual project.
The difference between the IS and ISR is a second semester (optional) module:
- Intelligent Mobile Robots (ISR) ;
- Data Mining, Techniques and Applications (IS).
Pre-programme: Induction Unit (mid September/January). Generally, we tend to privilege online material to include Distant Learning students, but there is also a short non-assessed Computing Induction Unit module covering the bases of Python and Java programming you can register for.
Full time on-site students: study four modules in semester one, four in semester two and then work on the project over the summer period. This modality of study takes place over a complete calendar year, as shown below.
Semester 1:
- Research Methods
- Fuzzy Logic
- Natural Language Processing based on Deep Learning
- Mobile Robots
Semester 2:
- Computational Intelligence Optimisation
- Artificial Neural Networks and Deep Learning
- Applied Computational Intelligence
- Intelligent Mobile Robots (ISR) or Data Mining, Techniques and Applications (IS)
Summer:
- Project

Part time on-site or Distance Learning students: the course can take up to a maximum of 6 years and (normally) a minimum of 2 years. Some examples on how to arrange MSc studies are given below.
(Example 1) - The most common route taken by Part-time/Distance Learning students is:
- taught modules are studied over a period of two years (two modules per semester, two semesters per year);
- the individual project is carried out either in a third year (RECOMMENDED) or alongside the four modules in the second year (NOT RECOMMENDED as usually Part-time/Distance Learning students have a job and unless you have a lot of spare time it might be counterproductive).
Bear in mind that it is compulsory to have passed FOUR modules before you can start the project and have taken the Research Methods module.
(Example 2) -By studying one module per semester (so two modules per year), your MSc can be completed in either 4 years (project is done alongside the other modules) or 5 (project is done after completing all modules in the firth year).
Make sure you which modality of study suits you best before starting your MSc!
Optional Placement: We offer a great opportunity to boost your career prospects through an optional one-year placement as a part of your postgraduate studies. The placement allows you to gain industrial work experience in your area of interest related to the course and increase your future employability. We have a dedicated Placements Team who will work with you to help you secure a placement. Once on your placement, you will be supported by your visiting tutor to ensure that you gain the maximum benefit from the experience.
