MSc Advanced Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence

What you’ll study

On our Advanced Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence Masters, you’ll study two 11-week semesters, each with three or four modules.
Each module typically has four hours of lectures, laboratory practicals and/or tutorials. Additional study time is required to enhance and apply your understanding of the topics covered, through further reading, self-directed study and assignments.

In the summer, between June and August, you’ll undertake an in-depth three-month research project.

A range of software systems are used to build reliable, scalable and quality solutions, and you will apply rigorous methodologies through experimental design and exploratory modelling. For example:

• the deep learning module allows you to use popular APIs such as Keras and Tensorflow
• topics such as reinforcement learning for real-world “game” play for example AlphaStar
• you'll become familiar with a number of different cloud NoSQL systems and the Map-Reduce programming paradigm
• evolutionary computation techniques such as genetic algorithms, genetic programming and neural networks will be introduced to a range of financial applications
