MSc In Computing (Artificial Intelligence)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one the fastest and most exciting areas in ICT and it has the potential to positively transform all aspects of our lives, from Autonomous Vehicles to improved healthcare services.

In recent years there has been an exponential growth in the application of AI in operational settings. As a result, there is a strong demand for graduates with the highly specialised multi-disciplinary skills that are required in AI, both as practitioners and as researchers. This MSc in Computing (Artificial Intelligence) is designed to meet this training need, by providing a balanced programme of instruction across a range of relevant disciplines. Find out more here.

MSc in Electronic and Computer Technology (IoT)

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a computing concept describing the interconnectivity and collaboration of a wide variety of everyday physical objects connected via the internet. IoT applications are penetrating almost all spheres of our lives and almost all major companies are investing in innovations in this domain.

There is a strong demand for IoT engineers who are competent in the design, development, management and support of IoT systems. For more information about the MSc in Electronic and Computer Technology (Internet of Things) click here.
