MSc in Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems

[Inman Harvey]

The Evolutionary and Adaptive Systems (EASy) group at the University of
Sussex is probably the largest such multidisciplinary research group in
the world, working on a wide range of topics where Computer Science and
Complex Systems and AI and Artificial Life swap ideas with Biology. We
have over 30 active researchers at doctoral and postdoctoral level, plus
a similar number of Masters students.

The EASy MSc is a one year course with 2 terms of coursework followed by
a major supervised project in a relevant area. If you are interested you

**Expanded funding** 
Due to its success over the last 4 years the UK EPSRC has now
dramatically increased the financial support for this course. The number
of studentships available has increased very significantly, awarded
competitively: UK students tuition + living expenses, other EU students
tuition fees only. Other international and local students not awarded
studentships welcome on self-funding basis, part-time option over 2
years also available. The expanded funding also includes new facilities
and new courses to be added.

Faculty directly involved in the course include
Dr Inman Harvey - artificial evolution, evolutionary robotics,
artificial life
Dr Phil Husbands - evolutionary computation, GasNets for robotics
Dr Ezequiel Di Paolo - evolving collective behaviour, homeostasis,
autopoiesis
Dr Adrian Thompson - evolvable hardware, evolutionary electronics

Other faculty here at Sussex in associated areas include
Prof John Maynard Smith (Evolutionary theory)
Prof Maggie Boden (Philosophy, Creativity, Artificial Life)
Prof Andy Clark (Philosophy)
Prof Tom Collett (Ant and bee navigational behaviour)
Prof Mick O'Shea (Neuroscience)
