[Bill Byrne]

Course Overview
This is a new twelve-month full-time MPhil programme offered by the Computational and Biological Learning Group and the Speech Group in the Cambridge University Department of Engineering , with a unique, joint emphasis on both machine learning and on speech and language technology.  The course aims: to teach the state of the art in machine learning, speech and language processing; to give students the skills and expertise necessary to take leading roles in industry; to equip students with the research skills necessary for doctoral study.  

Who Should Apply
Graduates with degrees in Engineering or a related technical subject, such as Computer Science, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or Economics are encouraged to apply. Students will be expected to have good backgrounds in mathematics and computer programming, as well as practical skills for large-scale experimentation. Applications are also welcomed from 'mature' students currently working in industry. Selection will be done to ensure an adequate technical background. Applicants are required to have a first or upper second class honours UK degree, or an equivalent standard from an overseas university.
