Course summary
The MSc Artificial Intelligence with Large Language Models gives you the skills, insight and hands-on experience to innovate with LLMs, from the theory that underpins them to the systems transforming industries. You’ll explore how natural language processing evolved from early rule-based systems to today’s multimodal LLMs capable of understanding text, images and more. Through practical labs and real-world projects, you’ll learn how to develop, fine-tune and deploy these models across fields such as healthcare, finance, science and the creative industries. Unlike broader AI degrees, this course dives deep into the full history and cutting-edge future of language models, preparing you to become a leader in this fast-moving area. By the time you graduate, you’ll not only know how these systems work, you’ll know how to design responsible, explainable and impactful AI solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible.
