Drive digital change with our distance learning Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence MSc. Study flexibly online and shape the future by completing a Masters in AI.

More than any other technology, the development of artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to change the way we live forever. AI programmers will be at the forefront of building a smarter future. Those with the specialist AI and machine learning knowledge are needed to fill the computer science digital skills gap in this rapidly evolving sector.

This artificial intelligence course is one of two online Computer Science pathways we offer at Northumbria (the other being our Computer Science with Data Analytics MSc). On both pathways youll first gain a firm foundation in computer science knowledge, with shared modules in Data Modelling & Analytics, Secure Web Development, and Object Oriented Programming.

Our flexible Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence Masters course provides an opportunity to develop theoretical knowledge and hands-on computing skills to stay ahead of the curve. Youll learn important, practical computing skills, such as Python, Javascript, Oracle SQL Plus, Pandas, Python 3 and Microsoft Azure. Find out more about the programming languages youll learn on the course.

After these foundation modules, youll then continue in this AI MSc pathway to specialise in artificial intelligence. This will include developing your understanding of artificial intelligence techniques, machine learning principles, and Intelligent User Interfaces.

Northumbria University is also part of the governments £40m-funded Institute of Coding, meaning were dedicated to preparing students to fill the shortage of digital skills in the UK.

We welcome applications from candidates from any background. Whether youre looking to change direction and kickstart a future in AI or learn more to fuel your organisations performance through machine learning, the learning objectives on this course will answer your needs.

Weve designed our artificial intelligence Masters pathway to be flexible. Study whenever and wherever suits you, accessing our teaching and learning facilities online. Your subject tutors and dedicated Student Success Advisor will be there to support you from enrolment to graduation.

Demand for employees with specialist Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence qualifications is high. During this course, youll build the in-depth understanding and skills needed to advance your career in computer science, even if youre new to the field.

Weve handpicked our modules to help you stand out in a lucrative market, developing both your ''soft skills'' and your technical capabilities. Youll take broad-based Computer Science modules, including Object Orientated Programming, Data Modelling and Analytics and Secure Web Development, as well as those dedicated to refining your specialist AI skill set.

Youll explore topics such as digital signage and image processing systems, shallow and deep learning neural network techniques, unsupervised machine learning techniques, intelligent user interfaces and more. Youll also have a chance to grow your interpersonal, research, project management and problem solving skills through an independent dissertation project. Discover what skills you need to get a job in AI.

Upon graduation, youll be well placed to take up a range of roles, including but not limited to:

Machine Learning Engineer

Research Scientist

Algorithm Developer

Computer Vision Engineer

SLAM Engineer

Solutions Architect

Engineering Manager
