PhD programmes are available on either a full-time or part-time basis. Most 
full-time students start in October each year and take the taught modules 
from the MSc in Pattern Analysis and Neural Networks during the first term.

MSc by Research in Pattern Analysis and Neural Networks

The MSc comprises a substantial 9 month research project, taught modules in 
Artificial Neural Networks, Statistical Pattern Analysis, Algorithms & 
Computational Mathematics, Time Series & Signal Processing, Data 
Visualisation & Density Modelling, & Research Methodology, computer lab. 
sessions & tutorials. The course emphasises the advantages of a principled 
approach to data analysis. There are strong commercial & industrial links 
through research projects & bursaries, & employment prospects for graduates 
are good.

Funding

Full studentships (for eligible students, please check EPS), paying tuition
fees and living 
expenses, are available for both research programmes. Funding is provided 
by the EPSRC (http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/) and industrial sponsors and is
