The MSc AI + Statistical Analytics is a conversion programme designed to provide you with the knowledge, skills, and practical experience needed to thrive in the rapidly expanding fields of artificial intelligence and data analytics. You’ll get an introduction to fundamental concepts in AI, data science, and statistical modelling, with an emphasis on their practical application to real-world problems.
You’ll learn the technical expertise, critical awareness, and ethical understanding necessary to apply AI and statistical methods across a wide variety of domains. You’ll get hands-on experience with programming, data handling, and modelling tools, and engage with the wider opportunities and challenges associated with AI, including issues of governance, communication, and societal impact.
You’ll develop a solid foundation in AI models, statistical methods, and computational techniques, and the ability to critically evaluate and apply AI and AI outputs and data-driven approaches to complex problems across business, government, and society.
