and the other two groups on

Agents http://intranet.csc.liv.ac.uk/research/agents/

Logic and Computation http://intranet.csc.liv.ac.uk/research/logics/

and to contact prospective supervisors to discuss a research topic before 
you apply.

You can apply through http://www.liv.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/applying/

The deadline for this application round is
