MSc Artificial Intelligence
Study our real-world focused MSc Artificial Intelligence course and gain all the skills and experience you need to start your career in this intellectually-stimulating and fast-growing profession.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way we live, work and learn. From manufacturing robots to self-driving cars, and smart assistants to systems that discover and make use of patterns in data for social or business good, AI has become part of our everyday lives.
If you're looking for an intellectually-challenging career where you can put your problem-solving skills to use to help companies, organisations and society as a whole to do things better, then a career in AI could be perfect for you.
There's a huge global shortage of AI experts and this predicted to increase, so AI professionals can expect to be very much sought after, able to command high salaries and choose between the many job prospects open to them.

MSc Cyber Security
This course seeks to address the global cyber skills gap, providing you with the advanced knowledge and understanding of cyber security issues you need to succeed in this industry.
Technology is transforming society in all sorts of ways. From the way that assembly lines are controlled to the way we socialise, we depend on computer systems. Increasingly, that dependency means that we are vulnerable to cyber attacks which, if successful, could undermine our national institutions and critical infrastructures, steal our personal data or gain access to private exchanges.
