About this course

Master a wide range of modern approaches to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. You’ll learn to design and develop the next generation of systems and services, and graduate with a skillset that is both in demand and growing.

AI is one of the fastest developing areas of computer science and is quickly becoming essential in automating processes across nearly all domains of modern life. 

Techniques involving big data and machine learning are driving efficiency and performance, rapidly transforming the ways we live and work.

On this artificial intelligence program you’ll have the opportunity to:

  • explore natural intelligence using computer models and learn to build systems capable of intelligent decisions and actions
  • explore core AI technologies and techniques, including high level programming, data analytics, deep learning and computer vision
  • use our modern lab facilities as you undertake practical, research-led learning
  • tailor your course to your interests by specialising in a range of optional topics
  • undertake a group design project in your final year 

This masters degree in artificial intelligence is also available with a foundation year.
