Artificial Intelligence MSc

Why choose this course

Our new MSc is the only course of its kind in the UK. It covers the three most important aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) – vision, speech and 5G – each backed up by one of our world-leading research groups. Our programme also encompasses the business, regulation and ethics aspects of modern AI.

The growth of AI is rapidly changing the way we live, work and learn. However, there’s a real shortage of AI talent worldwide, both to serve the industry and to drive future research.

Studying on this course will enable you to capitalise on the wide spectrum of career opportunities provided by AI, preparing you to work in industry, take an entrepreneurial route or pursue further research.

What you will study

This one-year full-time MSc will teach you about fundamental AI concepts and the universal machine learning tools essential for any AI job role, as well as specific practical and research skills in the three key AI topics of vision, speech and 5G. You’ll gain experience with cutting-edge tools such as deep neural networks (DNN), recurrent neural networks (RNN) and deep reinforcement learning (Deep RL) through regular hands-on exercises and practical labs.
