<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The University of Sydney has very recently introduced a new postgraduate degree - Master of Complex Systems (MCXS), starting in 2017:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">It's a unique cross-disciplinary two-year course with five specializations: Engineering, Biosecurity, Ecology, Transport, and Research Methods. A flyer is
attached. We are very keen to build awareness of this degree internationally, and I thought that many RoboCuppers (undergraduate and Honours students) may be interested in learning about this new course which will include agent-based modelling and simulation,
and other multi-agent and artificial intelligence methods and applications.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
