Artificial Intelligence

Overview

You will explore essential topics including:

• the history and future of AI in society, and the key paradigms and algorithms used in the field
• mathematical and statistical methods and their real-world applications within this domain
• machine learning and the application of algorithms to learn patterns in data and gain value from it

Throughout the course you will develop a number of programs and applications, and the course will focus on the programming languages Python and R. Towards the end of your studies, there will be the opportunity to progress onto a PG Dip or the full Masters degree.

Why we’re great
