Common modules are taught in all courses, in your first year you will study modules along with students on the other Cybernetics courses. In subsequent years, though, our courses diverge, and you will choose from a number of different options and electives. During the second and third years, you will follow programmed project work, assessed by individual and group reports,and oral presentations, examination and formal courses assessed by examination and or coursework. The course aims not only to help us understand cutting edge technology, but also to give us the imagination and creativity to identify future commercial possibilities, appreciate what is technically feasible, and put it all into practice by designing producing and marketing a finished product.
