You’ll learn how to propose the right AI tools, and apply them strategically, to provide real world business solutions. Our business Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence for Business is structured with an emphasis on meeting industry needs. As well as developing a deep understanding and appreciation of the foundations of AI and machine learning, we will centre on contemporary business issues including ethics, privacy, security, and risk. This business Master's degree is available to study on-campus or online as a full-time course (1 year) or with Professional Practice Year (2 years), or part-time (2 years). We are focused on your future employability, and you will learn key Artificial Intelligence functions, the benefits of AI in business and AI implementation, alongside the professional skills required to be a strong and effective leader in a data-rich environment.
