Study Details: 1 year full-time, 2-3 years part-time
The MSc Data Science and Artificial Intelligence will provide you with a deep understanding of cutting-edge artificial intelligence techniques and the practical skills to implement data analytics using AI.
You’ll gain a strong foundation in data science and specialist knowledge in a particular field. We do not assume that you’ll have programmed before, but we do require a level of mathematical dexterity that is commensurate with having completed a numerate degree.
A BA or BSc Degree at 2.1 level or above in a subject like computer science, mathematics, statistics, engineering, or quantitative subjects like economics/finance.

We carefully designed our data science programme to help you to become successful data science professionals. Core modules provide you with a solid grounding in the theory of big data, statistics, machine learning and the pathway domain. We train you on the latest methods and techniques across various modules so that you can be an important resource for different organizations as a data scientist and engineer. The programme provides you with the opportunity to learn the core techniques and further it enhances your learning through lab sessions. The lab sessions are going to help you to build hands-on experience on data science tools prior to your graduation.
The learning outcomes of all modules are in line with the fundamentals and current trends of data science and what exactly employers need and want. Each module provides you with hands-on experience of real-world applications, analysing data sets such as social media, biomedical data and financial data while working with industry-standard software tools. Our Industry Advisory Board (IAB) has experts from industry who can guide us from time to time on the industry requirements. Most of the data science programme faculty have worked with industry for many years. The teaching for the data science pathways is always in line with the current trends and technologies of data science. Moreover, while doing your masters, you will have cutting-edge computing facilities for big data analysis and the opportunity to work with leading researchers towards your final projects.
With successful completion, our data science students can take up wide variety of roles across many organisations.
