Course content

From breakthroughs in medical decision making to previously unimaginable forecasting capabilities, machine learning has changed how we approach problem-solving forever. On this master’s course, you will take your understanding to new depths – investigating both the theory and practice of this revolutionary approach.

Your study spans a diverse yet in-depth set of modules, encompassing deep neural network architectures, language learning models, and cognitive humanoid robots. With our MSc Artificial Intelligence students, you will study both i) The Fundamentals of Machine Learning and ii) AI and its Applications, however you will also explore iii) Decision Making Under Uncertainty - a key concept when making decisions based on predictive models.

During your time with us, you will follow 75% of core taught material whilst also enjoying a wide choice for tailoring the remainder of your study with optional units. You may find one of the most rewarding elements of your course is your Master’s Project, which enables you to carry out a substantial technical task which truly focuses in on your area of interest.

As you depart this course as a well-trained postgraduate, you will find you have a widely applicable skillset – providing you with both the gift of choice and in a workplace where there is strong demand for machine learning skills.
