This
is multidisciplinary degree that focuses on thinking in machines and people.
The core of the program draws mostly on psychology and information technology

conscious and how best to use what we know about human thinking in designing
intelligent artificial systems.
Graduates often gain employment in the information technology industry but they
are also in demand in other fields such as education, robotics, medical
instrumentation, virtual reality/multimedia applications and security systems
design.
