As one of the first UK universities to teach Computer Science back in 1972, we take pride in being at the forefront of computer science education and research. Our Artificial Intelligence and Data Science MSc builds on this rich heritage, combining professional standards and key industry knowledge with advanced expertise in modern AI and data science concepts, and opportunities to apply your skills to real-world challenges. To ensure relevance and alignment with industry needs, our course content has been shaped by our collaborations with a diverse range of national and international employers, as well as our partnership with The Alan Turing Institute - the UK’s leading institute for data science and AI. Specifically designed for students from non-computing backgrounds, initial modules will introduce you to the essential mathematical concepts and programming required for effective study. This foundational knowledge will support and enhance your understanding of the core AI and data science concepts covered later in the course, while also covering the basics of software engineering. Additionally, you'll learn to use industry tools like GitHub to effectively manage your projects. About Keele Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University. Founded to meet the needs of a changing world, Keele has always had a pioneering vision to be a different kind of university. We excel in both teaching and research, with some of the most satisfied students in England, and research that is changing lives for the better at a regional, national and global level. Our beautiful 600-acre campus is one of the biggest in Britain – but all the most important services and facilities are on your doorstep, with accommodation, teaching spaces, facilities including a medical centre, sports centre and pharmacy, and a range of shops, eateries and entertainment venues – including the Students’ Union – clustered around the centre.
