The programme is a Level 9, Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Artificial Intelligence. The programme has been proposed, designed and developed to meet the current and expected growth, both nationally and internationally, in Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) has become one of the most exciting topics in computing today. Brought about by the improvement in available hardware and an array of free, open-sourced A.I. software libraries, it is one of the fastest growing areas within the ICT industry. It is already being used to develop smarter products and services, from self-driving cars and automated warehouses, to computer games and online chatbots.
This masters programme aims to provide students with a deep understanding of the important topics within Artificial Intelligence. Students will be equipped to apply them in real-life scenarios and to solve (sometimes difficult) business and/or societal problems. Students will learn to discern the possible utility of A.I.in the real world while understanding the practical considerations that arise, for example: algorithm efficiency, power source, speed, communication, movement, environmental conditions, safety, and ethics.
