I picked my MSc because computer vision was the most appealing field in machine learning for me, and Queen Mary has an excellent computer vision department. I most enjoyed my modules in Introduction to Computer Vision with Professor Andrea Cavallaro and Deep Learning and Computer Vision with Professor Sean Gong. They’re both fantastic lecturers, really knowledgeable and engaging. During my MSc, I gained important skills in machine learning and computer vision and experience conducting research projects, designing experiments and critically analysing academic papers. The video presentation I made as part of my research project got me the interview which eventually led to my role at Hawk-Eye as a Computer Vision Engineer.— Tom Hughes, MSc Machine Learning for Visual Data Analytics (2023)
