The MSc Artificial Intelligence for Business is an interdisciplinary programme designed to prepare you for leadership in the design, implementation, and evaluation of AI technologies in complex and evolving business environments.Drawing on expertise from the University of Bristol Business School, the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE), and the Faculty of Arts, Law and Social Sciences (FALSS), the programme combines technical knowledge with managerial insight to meet the growing demand for professionals who can bridge the gap between AI systems and business value. You will gain a solid grounding in the core principles and technologies of artificial intelligence, including data engineering, machine learning, and large-scale computing, while also exploring their application in business domains.The programme emphasises a contextualised understanding of AI's role in business, encouraging students to move beyond simply learning the technical tools to critically examine their practical impact, commercial viability, and long-term sustainability within different organisational and societal contexts.Ethical reasoning and critical awareness are core to the curriculum, examining the societal consequences of AI adoption, and you will be encouraged to think reflexively about the trade-offs and responsibilities associated with AI-driven innovation.The programme fosters practical skills through hands-on lab sessions, cloud-based platforms, and industry-standard tools. You will not only develop proficiency in applying these tools to real-world business problems, but will also critically evaluate their strengths, limitations, and appropriateness for different tasks and contexts. A strong emphasis is placed on applied learning, including a supervised applied research project or dissertation. You can choose to explore entrepreneurial challenges, partner with external organisations, or pursue independent research under academic guidance.By the end of the programme, you will be capable of working across disciplinary and professional boundaries, assessing emerging technologies, and contributing to strategic decision-making processes. The MSc Artificial Intelligence for Business aligns with the University's Bristol Futures Curriculum by supporting the development of global citizenship, digital agility, interdisciplinary thinking, and leadership for an AI-augmented future.Highlights of the programme include:Its interdisciplinary approach, with teaching across two Faculties to deliver a programme that combines technical knowledge and business learning.A choice of units to support how technical or contextual you wish to be in your career aspirations.A distinction from related courses such as MSc Business Analytics and MSc Data Science for Business, with only one shared unit (EMATM0051 Large Scale Data Engineering).
