All students will take the five core modules listed at the top of the table below (although please note that the course structure below is indicative only and subject to change from year to year).
Students also choose one of four tracks or specialist areas at the time of application: Speech and Language Processing (SLP); Computer Vision and Robotics (CVR); Machine Learning (ML); or Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Each of the tracks has its own set of Core modules. Each track also has a set of Optional Core modules from which students will select one full or two half modules. See table below. Most modules appear in more than one track.
In addition students from all tracks will select one Elective module from across the MPhil in Machine Learning and Machine Intelligence and the current Cambridge University Engineering Department 4th year undergraduate syllabus. These will be advised at the beginning of the academic year.
From the end of the Lent term, students will undertake a research project leading to a dissertation.
Modules: (M: Michaelmas, L: Lent, F: Full, H: Half). Details may change.
