Course content

This multidisciplinary area is the study of computational systems that use ideas and gain inspiration from natural systems. The MRes programme explores current topics in natural computation, such as evolutionary algorithms, co-evolution, evolutionary design, nature-inspired optimisation techniques, evolutionary games, novel learning algorithms, artificial neural networks and theory of natural computation.

There is an increasing need from industry for professionals with knowledge of natural computation techniques. Our graduates develop a solid foundation to pursue a research and development career in industry or further studies.
