Student Destinations

The online course prepares you for a broad range of career paths beyond tech-facing roles. While this may include joining one of the big tech companies, you could also carve your own path via the entrepreneurial route or by pursuing further research. 

The social approach of this course can help those looking to channel their tech expertise to leverage innovation for the betterment of people and society. You could do this as a regulatory agent or policy maker, and shape the laws that control AI implementation both in the UK and around the world. 

You could also leverage the cross-disciplinary research to use AI to solve challenges in industries such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing or entertainment. With the rapid growth of AI changing the way we live, work, learn and play, your career opportunities are limitless.

Our MSc helps you prepare for roles such as:

  • AI scientist at a global technology company 
  • AI analyst in finance or other jobs requiring a systematic understanding of AI
  • Entrepreneurial roles (in business start-ups focused on AI technology, for example)
  • Industry-sponsored PhD studentship at the cutting edge of AI research
