Artificial Intelligence MSc

Our Artificial Intelligence MSc stands apart as the sole programme of its kind in the UK. It draws on the profound knowledge of our pan-University Institute for People-Centred AI (PAI) and the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP), both top-ranked for AI research: No. 1 in the UK for computer vision.

The programme is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) by incorporating a wide range of core topics. On this programme, you will study:

• Technical subjects, such as computer vision, natural language processing and audio analysis, to develop strong technical expertise
• Application-specific areas, such as health and the metaverse, to ensure you develop specialised knowledge in emerging AI fields
• Regulatory and legal aspects of AI, to equip you with a critical understanding of the ethical and legal considerations that will shape the future of AI.

The growth of AI is rapidly changing the way we live, work and learn. However, there’s a real shortage of AI talent worldwide, both to serve the industry and to drive future research.

Our Artificial Intelligence masters degree will enable you to capitalise on the wide spectrum of career opportunities provided by AI, preparing you to work in industry, take an entrepreneurial route or pursue further research.

And if you choose the placement pathway, you'll have the opportunity to undertake a postgraduate placement year, allowing you to gain crucial workplace experience. We’ll support you in finding a placement with a company most suited to your career goals.
