Course details

Want to shape the future of AI?

Our online MSc in Artificial Intelligence is one of the few programmes fully dedicated to AI. You’ll master AI, Robotics and Machine Learning through hands-on projects and real-world case studies.

The curriculum is designed to equip students with practical employer-valued skills, covering:

Python programming and fundamental computer programming techniques.
Machine learning and data science – the core knowledge that underpins many AI applications.

Which course is right for you?

We offer two pathways:

MSc Artificial Intelligence – In-depth expertise applicable across industries, preparing you to design AI solutions for real-world challenges.
PGCert Artificial Intelligence – A shorter programme covering key AI foundations, ideal for career progression or upskilling.

Both options cover the same core modules (Programming for Data Science, Data Science, and Algorithms) and are taught at the same academic level.
