Artificial Intelligence The University of Manchester

Overview

As the world takes a leap into Artificial Intelligence, play an active part in its revolution here at the University where it all started

Key Features

Learn about cognitive robotics, build mathematical models for machine learning, and apply natural language processing techniques in large-scale data sets. 

The aim of the Artificial Intelligence programme offered at The University of Manchester is to enable graduate computer scientists to deepen their knowledge in one or a few specialisms. Specifically, the programme aims to:

• Enable graduate computer scientists to deepen their knowledge in artificial intelligence (AI), so that they can identify and explain formalisms for knowledge representation and reasoning, and apply suitable machine learning methods to applications, considering their potential limitations

• Provide students with the opportunity to specialise in a variety of AI topics that provide a combination of skills that together address distinctive requirements

• Enhance students’ ability to communicate complex technical results, through submissions on laboratory work in course units.

• Provide students with the opportunity to develop, apply and evaluate advanced AI techniques through an individual project.

• Meet the needs of universities, industry, and other employers by supplying graduates with an ability to devise, apply, compare and evaluate advanced AI techniques.

Career opportunities

The development of artificial intelligence has defined, and will continue to define, the era in which we find ourselves. Our fundamental research seeks answers to the questions which could revolutionise AI – from how humans interact with robots to automatic to semantic search over the scientific literature.

As a postgraduate of this course, you’ll be specially trained in how to utilise and evolve our economy’s most impactful new technology and will be all the more employable for it. With your finely tuned knowledge, in combination the reputation our courses have for being among the best in the country, you enter industry with the gift of choice. Which sector will you choose? How will you apply your skills to better, or further, an industry?

In what is now being named, ‘The Age of Artificial Intelligence’, by researchers and reporters alike, you will learn to manipulate and harness the power of the world’s latest revolution – the forging of innovation, that in choosing this career, will continue long into your future.

Examples of some of the careers you could pursue include:

• Business Analyst

• Data Scientist

• Knowledge Engineer

• Natural Language Processing Engineer
