Connectionists: Stipend funding available for MSc Intelligent Systems

[Stefan Wermter]

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

We are pleased to announce that for eligible EU students we have obtained
funding  to offer a bursary for our MSc Intelligent Systems in October 2005
of about 8.000 EURO (about 5500 pounds) as fee waiver and stipend.

***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  MSc Intelligent Systems
programme for October 2005. 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,
fuzzy methods, and  hybrid intelligent architectures.


Funding of about 5500 pounds (about 8.000 Euro) for eligible EU students
------------------------------

The Bursary Scheme applies to this Masters programme commencing
October 2005 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  50 per week for 45 weeks
for eligible EU students,  together up to about 5500 pounds or about 8000 Euro.
