MSc Artificial Intelligence

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

A distinctive feature of our Artificial Intelligence MSc is the programme’s focus on various aspects of security, including information, networks and cyber security. You’ll learn how to conduct security analytics in an intelligent way, which is a growing AI field in the detection, identification, classification, prediction and prevention of threats.

You’ll finish your degree with a dissertation, which you’ll have the opportunity to link with the work of one of our two research centres – the Cyber Security Research Centre or the Intelligent Systems Research Centre. On the course you’ll also have the opportunity to work on collaborative projects with our long-standing partners in the fintech industry, including Lloyds Banking Group, Callsign and Open Banking Inc.

Although a master’s degree in artificial intelligence does not lead to a professional qualification on its own, you’ll find that some of the modules provide preparation for professional qualifications in areas such as big data management, data analytics and cyber security.
