About this course

In 2023, this course is on campus with remote adjustments only for participants with unavoidable travel restrictions/visa delays. This is a 12-unit research project course (to be taken twice) which allows students to undertake a research project on a machine learning and/or computer vision and/or Artificial Intelligence topic. Students will be expected to carry out independent research on this topic whilst working under the supervision of an academic or a qualified researcher. The research project can be theoretical or applied research based on the interests of the student and the availability of supervisors. The output of the research project should include a written thesis and may include other examinable artefacts such as software source code.
