Course summary
Why study this course Our Artificial Intelligence MSc degree is the ideal choice if you want to progress or start your career in the computer science, data or software engineering industry. The course is designed for those who want to play a part in transforming the relationship between people and technology, as well as those who want to be on the forefront of the current digital revolution that is spanning all sectors – from science and engineering to business and entertainment. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer confined to academic research, it’s a growing area of computer science that is beginning to be utilised across all industries that want to gain more from their technology by adding intelligence and learning capabilities to their products. Recent advances in knowledge representation, pattern recognition, natural language processing and machine learning have made it possible to construct software that solves problems beyond human reach. As a result the industry is experiencing a huge demand for AI specialists. On graduation you’ll have a wider pool of opportunities to choose from, a clear career path and a higher starting salary than average across all professions. More about this course Our Artificial Intelligence MSc curriculum is well-balanced as it combines two groups of modules – fundamental modules and specialist modules. On this course you’ll learn how to develop AI software and apply AI methods through:
- collecting, aggregating, filtering and transporting data from files, databases and live data sources in real-time
- modelling, extracting, correlating and analysing data from memory and repositories in automatic, interactive and batch modes of operation
- designing, developing and testing intelligent programmes, which can perform automated reasoning and learning
- constructing and controlling autonomous devices, such as robots and drones
Modules
Example modules include: Artificial Intelligence Semantic Technologies Machine Learning Data Warehousing and Big Data Cloud Computing and Internet of Things Information Security MSc Project
Assessment method
All three artificial intelligence (AI) methodological modules will be assessed by combining coursework for assessing the skills of using the AI methods and tools (60%) and an exam for evaluating the level of understanding in decision-making skills as well as analysing and designing intelligent systems (40%). All three technological modules will be assessed by two pieces of coursework to assess your working knowledge of technologies (50%) and your practical ability to use tools (50%) which will allow you to add intelligence to the solutions in the chosen domain – business, industry or entertainment. The dissertation project will assess your theoretical knowledge, analytical and technological skills and the decision-making potential which will guarantee your ability to add intelligent solutions to the business, industry and entertainment.
