This programme is intended to respond to a growing skills shortage in research and industry for engineers with a high level of training in the analysis and interpretation of images and video. It covers both low-level image processing and high-level interpretation using state-of-the-art machine learning methodologies. In addition, it offers high-level training in programming languages, tools and methods that are necessary for the design and implementation of practical computer vision systems. The industrial placement takes place from the September following the taught part of the MSc and is for a maximum of 12 months. All modules are examined through a combination of coursework and written examinations taken in May/June. To obtain an MSc, you must gain passes in six of the eight modules taken with an overall average of 50 per cent. In addition to the above, the MSc requires that a satisfactory individual project be completed. If you do not pass the written examinations you will only be allowed to attempt the project after passing examinations the following May. Throughout the course, postgraduates have access to a careers programme to prepare them for applying for work after graduation. This programme includes workshops on job hunting and job applications as well as employer events to facilitate networks and help students to explore their options.
