    Stipends available for MSc Intelligent Systems for EU students
    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    We are pleased to announce that for eligible selected EU
    students we have just obtained notice of funding to offer
    places with free fees and a bursary for our MSc Intelligent
    Systems. This stipend of free fees and bursary was about 8000 EURO
    last term. This scheme applies to our Feb/March entry 2006
    and also our entry in October 2006 for selected EU students.

    ***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 2006. Building on the School's leading edge
    research in intelligent systems this masters programme will be
    funded partially via the ESF scheme.

    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.

    The Bursary Scheme applies to this Masters programme commencing
    February/March 2006 and October 2006 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 selected EU students,
    together up to about 5500 pounds or about 8000 Euro. We also
    have support for fee-only stipends and further support under the
    women into science programme for UK and EU students.
