Program Description

The MSc in AI and Data Science has been co-designed in collaboration with local employers to meet the needs of students from various academic backgrounds – both STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) and non-STEM subjects.

With a September start date, this course is studied full-time over one year. Should you wish for more flexibility with your studies, we also offer 100% online part-time Computer Science programmes, with routes in Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

During the first part of the programme, which runs over the first two semesters, you will study eight core taught modules (120 credits). In Semester 1, you will begin by learning the fundamentals of programming (Python) and mathematics for AI and Data Science, designed for those without a background in those areas. You will then look at how to apply these skills in areas such as cloud computing and how they relate to the design of distributed intelligent systems. In the 2nd Semester, you will cover the core areas of databases, data analytics, visualisation and the applications of machine learning and data science, including topics such as deep learning and face/speech recognition.

The second part of the programme gives you freedom to choose between either formal academic project supervised by an academic expert from the School or opt for an industry placement*. You’ll be able to discuss with your academic supervisor which type of project or placement is most suitable, based on your performance during the taught modules. Both options will enable you to put into practice and apply the skills and knowledge learned throughout the course.

*Please note that the choice of industry placement will be dependent on your suitability and availability of an appropriate placement.

To achieve the MSc, you must complete 180 credits. There are two interim awards available, depending on how many modules have been successfully completed: a Postgraduate Certificate for any two modules (60 credits); and a Postgraduate Diploma for all four taught modules (120 credits).

Other Requirements

  • Undergraduate degree in any subject with second class lower (2:2) or an international equivalent. We will also consider students with equivalent industrial work experience.
  • For IELTS Waiver : CISCE/CBSE Class XII: 70% or above. All other State Boards Class XII (except Punjab or Mohali School Education Board): 75% or above in English, depending on course.Study should be taught in English. Otherwise IELTS is required.
