Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering MSc

Become an expert in Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering with this one-year MSc. You'll gain advanced skills in software engineering, machine learning, and data engineering, preparing you to design, build, deploy, and manage AI systems in real-world environments. This MSc addresses the high demand for professionals with combined expertise in machine learning and software engineering. Integrating modules from our esteemed MSc in Software Systems Engineering and MSc in Machine Learning programmes, along with new data engineering modules, this programme equips you with the skills to excel as an AI Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer, or Data Engineer. You will learn the foundations and practices necessary for designing, coding, testing, deploying, and evolving large-scale, data-intensive systems. This programme culminates in a substantial engineering or research project, often conducted in collaboration with industry partners through our department’s leading Industry Exchange Network (IXN). This programme is ideal for you if you have a strong background and interest in software engineering and maths, and wish to specialise in the engineering of complex AI systems. If your primary interest is data science and machine learning, our other MSc programmes in AI and Machine Learning disciplines may be more suitable.

A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree (or international qualification of an equivalent standard) in computer science, computing, or software engineering including a good background in data systems, artificial intelligence, and mathematics. Relevant work experience may also be considered.
