%Description The School is a multidisciplinary centre, covering
all aspects of Cognitive Science. Traditional strengths have been
AI, Philosophy and Theoretical Computer Science, although more
recently the schools has expanded it's HCI, CSCW and Software
Engineering groups.
%Facilities Mainly UNIX running X-Windows, and the POPLOG
environment which was developed at Sussex. Hardware is
combination of Sun Workstations and X-terminals. Some Macintoshes
available for HCI students. New Multimedia lab offers
comprehensive multimedia authoring environment, based on a Mac

%Program Computers should be designed to assist people. That
slogan is easy to state, but hard to implement. The one year MSc
will demonstrate how to apply techniques from psychology and
cognitive science to the design of interactive computing systems.
It includes courses in the fundamentals of human computer
interaction and software evaluation, and a supervised project
using advanced software tools to develop a prototype computer
system that is productive, empowering, and easy to use.  Topics
covered in the MSc include:
 - interface design
 - cognitive models in human computer interaction
 - system evaluation techniques
 - expert systems and knowledge engineering
 - computer supported cooperative work
Courses in the MSc include:
 * Human Computer Interaction
 * Knowledge Representation
 * Systems Design and Evaluation
 * Psychological Methods for System Evaluation
 * Intelligent Tutoring Systems
 * Computer Supported Cooperative Work
 * Social Implications of Computer Systems
 * Computing and Children
