Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (MSc)

The power of artificial intelligence (ai) and data science is rapidly changing our world. Be part of the next industrial revolution. 

Data is one of today’s most valuable commodities. AI touches almost every walk of life – from improving diagnosis and treatment in healthcare to new creative tools for artists.

The need for skilled graduates who understand the full breadth of the technology is greater now than ever before.

About this course

• Want to change direction? Switch careers? Upskill? This fast- track Masters is for you.
• Taught in our £4.5 million Centre of Excellence for Data Science, Artificial Intelligence and Modelling (DAIM), our MSc offers a fast-track to career success in this dynamic field.
• As a conversion course, this MSc is suitable for students with a range of backgrounds in STEM and non-STEM subjects. With intensive teaching - your in-person lectures and workshops will normally be on one day a week 9am to 6pm - so you can balance your studies alongside other commitments, too.
• Don't have programming experience? That's okay. You'll learn Python coding at the start of the course to make sure you're up to speed.
• Unlike other universities, you'll study the full breadth of Al - not just one specialism. You'll cover programming, statistics, machine learning, big data, data visualisation, computer vision and the ethical and legal responsibilities of using data.
• You can design your own research project to suit your background and career interests. Some students may be able to with work on a research project with one of our industry partners such as Naimuri, the NHS, KCOM or Lampada Digital Solutions.
• You'll develop key skills including programming, problem-
• solving, and data visualisation and interpretation. And graduate at the forefront of data science.

Future prospects

• There’s a shortage of qualified data practitioners to meet the growing needs of employers. So you’ll be in high demand.
• You’ll graduate the ability to apply AI and data science techniques to real-world problems. And could go on to work as a data scientist in a wide range of industries. Our recent graduates have joined big names such as Amazon and Scottish Power
• You’ll also be able to critically evaluate AI and data science methodologies. Plan, design and carry out empirical research. And interpret, present and communicate the outcomes of data science and AI solutions. Which means you’ll be ready to progress to further study in a broad variety of subjects.
