Below please find three &#8220;distinction-quality&#8221;, 60 ECTS, M.Sc. in AI dissertations from Etienne, Joseph, and Daniel (all brilliant ex-students of mine). These dissertations resulted in publications (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fphar.2019.01675\/full\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fphar.2019.01675\/full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/chapter\/10.1007\/978-3-031-20664-1_2\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.scitepress.org\/Link.aspx?doi=10.5220\/0010228300380049\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/pubs.acs.org\/doi\/full\/10.1021\/acs.jcim.2c00779\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/pubs.acs.org\/doi\/full\/10.1021\/acs.jcim.2c00779\">here<\/a>).

AI<\/a> programme at the University of Malta, but will still help you get a feel for what is required (and excellency). The BoE requested no corrections for Daniel&#8217;s dissertation (one of two cases I have ever seen in over a decade at UM). Also appreciate these dissertations were written in pre-GenAI times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are looking for dissertations from the <strong>M.Sc.
