The Data Science and Artificial Intelligence MSc programme has been designed to provide students with a non-computer science first degree with the necessary technical knowledge and skills required to take up rewarding careers within the data science and artificial intelligence (AI) industry, including interdisciplinary career opportunities.
The programme will allow students to build on their existing undergraduate degrees, and upskill their portfolio of abilities, in the context of current thinking in the domain of data science and AI. More specifically the programme will provide students with a comprehensive insight into the modern data analytics landscape with a focus on data science and AI.
On completion of the programme, you will have gained a systematic insight into the current state of the art, and current thinking, within the remit of data science and artificial intelligence in particular, and computer science in general. The programme will complement your first-degree knowledge with a deep and systematic insight into the domain of data science and artificial intelligence.
During your studies, you will develop your ability to work independently, and with others, to research, design, implement and execute creative data science and artificial intelligence solutions to practical and commercial problems, and to subject your work and that of others to critical analysis and evaluation.
You will also have an opportunity to create a professional development plan and, throughout the course of the programme, build an e-portfolio that exhibits your understanding of computer science and the practical application of computer science technology.
Applicants should possess either:
(i) a degree in any subject equivalent to a UK Bachelor's degree (2:2 or above), or
(ii) at least 2 years experience in employment, which would normally be of a technical nature, comparable with the award of a bachelor's degree
All applicants must have reached a minimum required standard of English language and are required to provide evidence of this. Successful applicants from outside the UK must have an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of 6.5 overall or equivalent.
Full tuition fee – £16,868 (2024/2025 academic year)
Successful completion of the programme will allow you to take up careers in the growing area of data science and artificial intelligence, or in many other computer science settings, including interdisciplinary roles related to your undergraduate degree. The skills you develop will be of use in a wide range of industries including healthcare, government agencies and technology. Potential job titles are varied, and include examples such as data analyst, data scientist, database manager, machine learning practitioner and IT consultant.
The Data Science and Artificial Intelligence MSc consists of the following taught modules and a final dissertation project. There is a brief break scheduled between modules to allow students to refresh themselves and reflect on what they have learned.
Shorter postgraduate diploma (120 credits) and postgraduate certificate (60 credits) awards are also available in this subject.
