An introduction to the fundamental concepts in Artificial Intelligence, and their real-time applications. Build fundamental skills in AI-relevant programming concepts along with a critical awareness of important principles in software design and development. You’ll learn how to create applications in Python.

Today, leading global organisations use Machine Learning (ML) and deep neural network systems in a variety of products and applications. This module can help you to delve deeper into the three key areas of AI: problem-solving, knowledge representation and ML and their industry-level applications.

Learn how to develop a research proposal to address real-world questions and challenges. Further your knowledge of the ethical, legal, social, and professional frameworks you’ll need to both uphold and operate within.

Gain an advanced understanding of the application of AI – particularly within the context of business. You’ll explore the use of different technologies for business management, business model thinking and innovation, business process design, and adapting to change. Discover more about the link between AI and communication, including (mis) information diffusion and human-computer interactions.

Challenge yourself with applying the expertise you have developed during your studies to take on a dissertation, research project, or consultancy project. Your final project can tackle any issue in an area of the field that you’d like to specialise in – or even an actual need in your current workplace.

For example, you could choose to create an AI solution for your company that addresses a unique challenge it faces. You’ll take on the project under the supervision of a member of our academic team and also have the freedom to use your solution to make new strides in your place of work.
