MSc Artificial Intelligence with Industrial Placement

Ulster University

The MSc Artificial Intelligence is a specialist programme that has the core aim of preparing students for both an industrial career, with skills in the fields of computing, knowledge presentation, reasoning, robotics, machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, natural language processing, data analytics in the context of AI and the emerging and advanced topics in AI, and in addition providing a relevant platform to embark on further research studies. They will also be able to apply the acquired skills in the development of AI system and applications. The delivery of the course is supported by multi-million pound infrastructure of a large-scale pervasive and mobile computing environment, a suite of contemporary sensing technologies and rapid prototyping facilities. The course content has been informed by internationally leading research being conducted in the School and by our strong industry partnerships, most notably with BT through the BT Ireland Innovation Centre (BTIIC) and with PwC through the Advanced Research and Engineering Centre (ARC). This course has been developed in response to evidence of demand from industry and business for up-skilling of staff in the area of AI and addresses a clear gap in the marketplace for postgraduate study. The MSc in Artificial Intelligence will strive to address the growing demands in the sector by training computing professionals to follow a career in the AI industry. The course also provides a platform to embark on further research studies.
