The aim of this programme is to produce graduates who have a deep conceptual understanding of cognition and the mind. Our graduates leave the programme with solid understanding of:
* The computing machine: both at a conceptual level (including knowledge of what such machines are and what they fundamentally can and cannot do) and at a practical level (by developing programming skills to solve complex tasks, using modern object oriented programming methodologies)
* Artificial intelligence and neural networks; developing skills at applying these 'technologies of thought' to solve complex tasks that would otherwise require human-like 'intelligence' to complete
* Classical theories of mind - from dualism to functionalism and connectionism - and understanding the representational (and computational) foundations of this theory; understanding criticisms of computational and representational theories
* The modern embodied, embedded, enactive vision of cognition; the expression of cognition via interplay of agent and environment interaction
* Advanced skills in critical thinking and analysis; academic writing and presentation skills
Contents
The programme will consist of the following compulsory courses, covering topics including: computing machinery and intelligence (the fundamentals of computing, program speedup, limitations of computing, what is a computer?); the philosophy of artificial intelligence (critical review of key papers in the foundations of artificial intelligence); problems with computationalism (review of critiques by Dreyfus, Searle, Varela, Brooks, Penrose, Putnam, van Gelder, and more).
* The Computer and the Mind
* Consciousness and Computations
* Embodiment and Enactivism
* Advanced Topics in Cognitive Computing
In addition, you will take one of the following compulsory courses:
* Introduction to Programming
* Programming for the Artists
* Advanced Programming
You can also select two optional 15 credit courses (or one 30 credit course). Such options may include:
* Artificial Intelligence
* Neural Networks
* Physical Computing
* Semantic Web
* Workshops in Creative Coding
* Artificial Intelligence for Games and Special Effects

Requirements
You should have an undergraduate degree of at least second class standard with maths at GCSE or equivalent. If your first language is not English, you should normally have a minimum score of 7.0 in IELTS (including 7.0 in the written element) or equivalent. In exceptional circumstances, outstanding practitioners or individuals with strong commercial experience may be considered.
The modular structure and choices provided by this programme enable it to be equally accessible and challenging to students with a background in the pure sciences, the applied engineering sciences (including computing) and the arts/humanities (including psychologists, linguists and anthropologists). The award of MSc emphasises the technical focus to the interdisciplinary content of the degree.
