Course overview
This programme draws upon our research expertise within the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, in areas including machine learning, natural language processing and Game AI.
During the programme, you’ll discover and devise data-driven AI solutions to automate and optimise business processes that can be applied in any field to support and enhance human decision-making. You’ll also explore the essential ethical and legal issues that need to be considered when generating, analysing and disseminating data and developing AI technology.
You’ll attend campus for two weeks of intensive teaching at the beginning of the programme. These two intensive preparatory modules will allow you first to acquire the pre-requisite skillset in programming and statistics before moving on to apply your knowledge in learning specialist AI techniques.
You’ll also study six standard compulsory modules during the first and second semester, and undertake an individual capstone project in the third and final semester.
