Overview

The MSc Computing with Vision and Imaging degree is a flexible programme suitable for graduates who wish to widen and/or deepen their knowledge of Computing.

We encourage a professional, inter-disciplinary and user-centred approach to computer systems design and production, and will enable you to develop the skills so that you can undertake independent research and participate in proposal development and innovation.

Aims of the Programme

This degree programme aims to give students a Masters-level postgraduate education in the knowledge, skills and understanding of computer vision, inference, learning and related areas to enable them to operate effectively in the application of video and image-based computing in industry, commerce or research.

Programme Content

You select seven taught modules, three per semester, during the period September-April. You will make module selections with your advisor.

Semester 1 (Sept-Dec)

Semester 2 (Jan-Mar)

  • Probabilistic Inference and Learning
  • Signals and Images
  • Vision and Perception
  • Research Methods

Plus two from:

  • Technology Innovation Management
  • Computer Graphics
  • Logical Inference & Symbolic Reasoning
  • Information Theory

Plus one from:

  • Computing Research Frontiers
  • Multi-agent Systems & Grid Computing

Subject to examination performance, you then progress to the MSc project which runs from May to September, or to a Diploma project lasting 9 weeks.

Please note that some of the modules in the programme are shared with other masters programmes and some of the teaching and resources may be shared with our BSc programme. These joint classes offer a valuable opportunity to learn from, and discuss the material with, other groups of students with different backgrounds and perspectives.

Methods of Assessment

The taught modules are assessed by continuous assessment plus end of semester examinations in December and March/April. The project is assessed by dissertation.

Entry Requirements

You should have, or expect to have, a degree in computer science, physics, mathematics, electrical engineering or a related numerate discipline, with a grade equivalent to at least a Class 2.1 Honours degree from a UK university, or equivalent qualifications. A good mathematical background and some experience of programming are essential.

English Language Requirement: IELTS of 6.0 (or equivalent), if your first language is not English. Please check our Language Requirements page for details of equivalent grades from other test providers, and information about the University of Dundee English Language courses.
