The combined effect of the big volume of data availability on a global scale and a significant increase in processing power offered by technologies like cloud computing has made it possible to unlock the true potential of machine learning algorithms, extract features from data, and to expand the application domain of artificial intelligence.
The need to adapt and incorporate the ever-growing field of AI and its technologies into current business practices is putting pressure on industries to invest in their legacy systems. Supported by Intel’s AI Academy through their online and data processing resources, the skills you’ll learn can be applied to AI-enabled business strategies and marketing, management of database records, e-business technologies, IT system development and design, and IT project management.
If you do not have a degree in computing but are interested in studying this subject at postgraduate level, we also offer an MSc Applied Data Science. This conversion course will take you through the major building blocks of data science and help you graduate ready for a career in computing.

TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT
12 months full-time
The modules on this Masters degree reflect current trends in AI. They’ll give you a glimpse into the IT industry and topics that will prepare you for the job market.
You’ll be introduced to the concept of semantic data technologies, which identify and interpret the meaning of data according to its context. You’ll gain the skills to structure semantic data, develop ontological models and use these to create knowledge-based applications to analyse and add value to data and support decision making.
Two modules will explore machine learning, a sub-discipline of artificial intelligence which deals with teaching the computer to act without being programmed. You’ll also explore applications of neural computing and deep learning to big data in physical and biological sciences, finance and social sciences. Your Postgraduate Major Project is an opportunity for you to undertake independent research into a topic of interest and in which you can develop a significant level of expertise.
Modules are subject to change and availability.
Assessment
Throughout the course, we’ll use a range of assessment methods to measure your progress. You’ll complete exams, essays, research reports, oral presentations, and a dissertation on a subject of your choice.
