M.Sc. in NEURAL COMPUTATION
This is a one-year full-time course with a focus on basic principles of neural
computation and a special emphasis on vision. Students are prepared for careers
in neural net research and development in industrial and academic situations,
and also for work in more traditional computational, cognitive science, or
neuroscience environments where this training can provide a distinctive and
valuable contribution. The course may include a two-month industrial placement.
Work for the M.Sc. can in some case be converted into the first year of a Ph.D.
A nine-month Post-graduate Diploma is also available.
