1.       Students will take an individual  study plan of more specialised taught material in their second year, typically totalling 30 ECTS (minimum 27.5 ECTS), with the overall requirement to bring their total taught component (for the degree) up to at least 70 ECTS.   In recognition that our taught modules are a mix of different ECTS credit amounts, we will allow students with a well documented record of seminar attendance to count this (formally authorised as FFR 140 Complex Systems Seminar at Gothenburg) in lieu of a shortfall of up to 5 ECTS of taught material.

Each location offers a distinctive thematic group of M2 modules as follows, which students will exploit their mobility to choose between  (although there will be no bar on mixing the themes).

(a)    Theory-based theme  taught at Ecole Polytechnique for M2:

Advanced Dynamical Systems 6 ECTS

Networks  6 ECTS

Pattern Formation  6 ECTS  (avail. in Warwick as MA4G4 7.5 ECTS)

Collective and Critical Behaviour  6 ECTS
Complex Interactive Structures - an advanced level survey  6 ECTS

(b)   Information Science theme taught at Gothenburg for M2:

Humanoid Robotics (FFR155) 7.5 ECTS 

Autonomous Agents (FFR 125 )  7.5 ECTS (Alt. at Warwick CS404 Agent Based Systems )

Cryptography (TDA351) 7.5 ECTS

Image Processing (RRY025) 7.5 ECTS

Artificial Intelligence (TIN171) 7.5 ECTS

(c)    Biological theme taught at Warwick for M2:

Computational Biology (CS904) 7.5 ECTS  (avail. Gothenburg as FFR 115 Comp. Biology 2)

Population Dynamics: Ecology and Epidemiology   (MA4E7) 7.5 ECTS

Advanced Bioinformatics  (BS915) 7.5 ECTS 

Introduction to Theoretical Neuroscience (MA4G4) 7.5 ECTS

Networks and Pathways in Cells (CH927) 5 ECTS

Advanced Modelling and Statistics (BS917)  7.5 ECTS

2.       M2 Project (30 ECTS). All students will conduct a 6 month research project , with preparatory work/reading in period A/B/C (depending on taught schedule) and project work in periods DEF.  In addition to written report, they will make an oral presentation to the whole programme at the Projects Conference.

 Please appreciate that some individual modules might change - these lists refect the modules which were available in 2008-9.
