Why choose this course?
The MSc in Artificial Intelligence (AI) serves as a transformative program, tailored for students spanning various academic fields, seeking to enhance their existing knowledge and skills to unlock career opportunities in AI.
In today’s world, AI’s significance pervades every facet of society, encompassing infrastructure, education, healthcare, and the battle against climate change. The demand for graduates with the aptitude and training to responsibly harness AI to address global challenges remains steadfast. Our course, meticulously crafted by a team of experts, is geared towards nurturing adaptable, versatile, and dynamic professionals equipped with the ideal blend of training, education, and management acumen to fulfill the needs of diverse industries.
This MSc program in Artificial Intelligence is a conversion program designed to shape graduates from a wide range of academic backgrounds into AI experts. Its unique character makes it attractive to students from diverse academic disciplines who may require additional support in areas beyond their previous field of study, such as mathematics or programming. Before embarking on the course, students receive an induction program in mathematics and programming to furnish them with essential foundational skills for success. This induction program is accessible throughout the year, and the University’s expert support team is readily available to provide supplementary assistance in mathematics and programming as needed.
As part of the program, students will be given the chance to apply for a paid internship with one of our industry collaborators, including notable names like The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust and Transport for West Midlands. These industry partners will not only offer practical case studies based on real-life situations but also provide a cloud training environment for students to simulate authentic scenarios.
A significant goal of this initiative is to boost representation from currently marginalized groups within the AI and Data Science domains, encouraging graduates from diverse backgrounds to contemplate a career in these fields. To support this objective, several £10,000 scholarships are on offer for students enrolled in this program, with a focus on prioritizing female, black, and disabled students. Students holding a confirmed offer for a place six weeks before the course commencement date will be invited to apply for these scholarships.
