MSc Artificial Intelligence

The MSc Artificial Intelligence course has been developed with a specific focus on employability. The industry internship provides students with the opportunity to fine tune their skills directly in the workplace and to gain valuable work experience.

The primary goal of the new conversion courses is to respond to the shortage of Data Science and AI specialists in the UK. The Government's Digital Strategy predicted that within 20 years, 90 per cent of all jobs will require some element of digital skills. 

The educational aims of this course are

• To enhance critical understanding and skills regarding processes, techniques and methodologies around artificial intelligence in a blended learning environment with hand-on application using contemporary software.
• To equip students from a broad variety of backgrounds with the key skills needed to apply artificial intelligence tools and techniques to complex real world situations.

To equip students with the communication, management and organisational skills needed to lead data science projects and to communicate findings to the wider organisation including to non-technical audiences

These fees relate to the academic year indicated for entry onto the course and month start, any subsequent years study may be subject to an annual increase, usually in line with inflation.
