The Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence (MSAI) programme is created for students who wish to develop, design and implement AI systems and at the same time cultivate a deep understanding of AI for project management and policy making. The programme emphasizes on AI theory, techniques and tools to solve real world problems with multiple types of constraints, e.g. problems with limited training data and big data problems. Equipped with both theoretical and activity-based learning, this will allow graduates to upgrade their competencies and skills. The core courses focus on the foundations of AI knowledge, such as machine learning and deep learning, while a wide range of elective courses in different domains, such as image, video, text and IoT data are available to deepen understanding and knowledge in this specialisation.
Programme Structure
MSAI programme is an intensive one-year full-time (or 2-year part-time) programme by coursework. Students will be awarded the Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence after completion of study. The minimum and maximum periods of candidature for full-time candidates are 12 and 30 months respectively. For part-time candidates, they are 24 and 48 months respectively. The programme consists of a total of 30 Academic Units (AUs), with 12 AUs stemming from core courses and 18 AUs from master project and elective courses, covering general AI techniques and techniques especially for image, video, IOT and time series data. Each course is 3 AUs and has 39 contact hours consisting of lectures, tutorials, example classes and labs over 13 weeks. The master project of AI is a one year project with 6 AUs. The master project is not a compulsory component. The bridging course, Python Programming, with zero AU is for students who have graduated from bachelor programmes with limited programming training and working adults who do not usually write codes. All students can take the bridging course in their first semester. It is not a compulsory course.
