Project Work

Modern AI research is fast-paced and ever-changing. This means that traditional methods of teaching such as through lecture courses or the use of textbooks are rarely applicable. The aim of the group projects is to enable learning through supported research and practice.

In small teams, you will tackle a designated problem. Prior familiarity with the problem is not necessary and we encourage you to be part of a team which is looking at something that you have not encountered before - this is about learning.

Group projects will run throughout the year with varying levels of time commitment. You will be supported by the CDT Directors and project-specific mentors including from EIT.

Students will also undertake two individual rotation projects between April and September (with time set aside to keep the group projects going). These will be carried out under the supervision of academics from the supervisor pool but may include additional co-supervisors from the university and/or EIT. During this time, students will be based in the home department of the rotation project supervisors.
