Course Description

The course is structured around 3 components:  Coursework; a Thesis or
Project; and Professional Development subjects.  The Coursework revolves
around the concept of a cluster.  A specialist cluster consists of 4
thematically linked subjects.  An elective cluster consists of a selection
of any 4 subjects--- that are not necessarily thematically consistent.  All
subjects run for two contact hours per week for two semesters and are taught
in the late afternoon and evening.

The Coursework component consists of a maximum of 3 clusters of subjects (2
specialist clusters and an elective cluster) or a minimum of 2 clusters of
subjects (2 specialist clusters).  A part-time student would ordinarily take
one cluster per year.  A full-time student would ordinarily take two
clusters per year.

The specialist clusters offered are:
Artificial Intelligence:  4 subjects from

CS012 Artificial Intelligence

CS011 Symbolic Programming Languages

CS010 Mathematical Foundations of AI

CS030 AI-Directed Computer Architectures

CS026 AI Project

Advanced Artificial Intelligence:  4 subjects from

CS020 Computational Linguistics

CS022 Expert Systems

CS025 Current Computing

CS026 AI Project

CS027 Neural Networks

CS030 AI-Directed Computer Architectures

Future Database Systems

CS023 Information Retrieval

CS040 Deductive Databases

CS041 Object-Oriented Database Systems

CS043 Database Project

Advanced Software Engineering:  4 subjects from

CS050 Formal Specification Methods

CS051 Formal Design and Implementation Methods

CS052 Telecommunications Software Engineering

CS053 Software Engineering Project

CS054 Software Project Management


Advanced Graphics: 4 subjects from

CS060 Image Synthesis

CS061 Geometric Modelling

CS062 Advanced Computer Interfaces

CS063 Graphics Project

CS064 Scientific Visualisation

CS065 Computer Animation

CS066 Foundations of Computer Graphics

CS067 Computational Geometry


The elective cluster consists of any 4 subjects from the above that have not
yet been completed.  One of the specialist clusters or the elective cluster
can be comprised of a selection of subjects from clusters being offered by
the Departments of Communication and Electrical Engineering, 
Business Information Systems or Information Services.

The professional development subjects are drawn from 4 of the following
subjects which are offered as a combination of classes and intensive
workshops on some weekends.




AD031 Project Management

AD032 Managing People

AD033 Managing Organisational Change

AD034 Management Competencies for IT professionals

AC030 Financial Management

SS901 Social Impact of Information

SE260 Social and Technological Systems

SE460 Contract Law & Industrial Relations


The thesis/project component of the degree can be undertaken by a normal
minor thesis/project or an enhanced minor thesis/project.  The normal thesis
consists of a semester of research as supervised by a member of the
Department of Computer Science.  Students who undertake this thesis must do
2 specialist clusters and the elective cluster and the professional
development component.  Subject to approval, students can undertake 2 years 
of research by undertaking an enhanced thesis/project.  If the student
takes this option, the elective cluster does not need to be taken, and the
student must only complete 2 specialist clusters and the professional
development component.


Fees

A compulsory General Service Fee applies.  For 1991 this fee was $248 for
full-time students and $108 for part-time students.  Additionally, the
Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) will apply.  Specific details

The University of Melbourne


Master of Arts, Science or Engineering in Cognitive Science by Coursework

General Description

Cognitive Science is a multi-disciplinary area concerned with the
exploration of questions about mind, knowledge, language, perception and
action through the paradigms of experimental methods, logic, and algorithmic
analysis.  It is particularly important for its application to Information
Technology.  The course is concerned with both the acquisition of Knowledge
Engineering Skills and inquiries into fundamental issues in both Biological
and Machine Knowledge-based Systems.  For such reasons, the course combines
topics offered in Computer Science, Linguistics, Philosophy and Psychology.


Course Duration

The equivalent to three semesters of full-time study, which can be taken on
a full or part-time basis.


Entrance Requirements

Eligibility for enrollment in the programme will normally be based on the
candidate having completed an appropriate undergraduate degree in one of the
following areas:  Computer Science; Engineering; Linguistics; Mathematics;
Neurosciences; Philosophy; Psychology or other related disciplines.
Students must have some programming experience since the course requires the
learning of specific computational methods associated with the Artificial
Intelligence perspective to Cognitive Science.  However, some remedial
preliminary courses can be recommended for students before formally
commencing the programme.


Admission

For admission, an undergraduate degree at a good honours level will normally
be required, or an appropriate qualifying programme of study may be
undertaken.  Special consideration will be given to professionals with
adequate industrial/business experience.
Applicants should apply by contacting any of the Faculties of Science, Art
or Engineering at the University.  The respective phone numbers are:  +61 3
344 6404, +61 3 344 5234, and +61 3 344 6703.  Applications should be
