What you'll study

The following information is intended as an example only and is typically based on module information for the 2024/25 year of entry. Modules are reviewed on an annual basis and may be subject to future changes. Updated Programme and Module Specifications are made available ahead of each academic year. Please also see Terms and Conditions of Study for more information.

Our MSc Artificial Intelligence covers specialist modules in programming, AI, applied machine learning, robotics and intelligent systems, and computer vision, as well as modules that prepare you for your individual AI project.

Compulsory

The module aims to develop the students' competence and confidence in their ability to implement an algorithm or a computing system, starting from a design specification, using programming languages widely used in industry and academia.

The aim of this module is to provide an up-to-date introduction to state-of-art artificial intelligence with a particular focus on the developments of the last five to ten years. The module will introduce specific methods within the scientific contexts in which AI has seen considerable progress. The module will also prepare students for the in-depth analysis of the various methods presented in the following modules in the programme.

This module aims to prepare students to apply modern machine learning techniques to solve various real-world challenges as well as exploring state-of-the- art deep learning technology. This self-contained module will introduce conventional machine learning methods and new deep neural network development. With the understanding of the techniques, the students will gain the ability to apply and develop practical machine learning solutions for real-world applications, thus to satisfy industrial needs under different scenarios.

The aims of this module are to provide students with the relevant concepts of robotics from the AI perspective and the skills for developing planning and learning systems that apply to robotics.


Compulsory

The aims of this module are to:

  • To prepare a suitable project plan, analysis of the project requirements and constraints, specification and literature review with critical analysis for their project completed in a subsequent module.
  • To start the project and report on the progress made.

The aims of this module are to:

  • enhance awareness and critical appreciation of high-quality research-based publications;
  • develop ability to communicate research-findings to others in an independent minded manner;
  • develop skills in research methods.

The main aim of this module is to introduce students to computer-based understanding, analysis and processing of images taken with digital camera. The module introduces various methods and algorithms that allow computers to store images, process images (e.g. enhance images), extract useful information from images, classify images, and organise image collections.. The module also aims to specify and discuss the problems of image understanding and of various computer vision applications.

This module aims to introduce key concepts in Natural Language Processing (NLP), a field of using statistical methods and machine learning algorithms for processing written natural language. The module will equip students with a fundamental understanding of methods for processing linguistic data in textual form, associated challenges, and applications. The module will also provide students with the practical skills to analyse textual data using fundamental and state-of-the-art NLP methods.

The aim of this module is to allow students to demonstrate their analysis, design and programming skills, acquired in previous modules of their MSc, by applying what they have learned to a substantial problem in Artificial Intelligence. The project must be related to their MSc studies and the student should be able to show they can apply the latest research and developments in their project.

Students are required to have a bachelor degree (4 years) for entry to a postgraduate programme. The University uses the Shanghai Academic Ranking of World Universities to identify the required final mark, as outlined on the table below:

First class (70%) Mid 2:1 (65%) 2:1 (60%) Mid 2:2 (55%) 2:2 (50%)
Shanghai Rank Top 250 83% 79% 75% 73% 70%
Shanghai Rank 251-500 88% 84% 80% 78% 75%
Shanghai Rank 501+ 92% 87% 84% 82% 80%

The University will consider students from Affiliated Colleges in the following way:

Applicants from colleges affiliated to universities in the top 250 Shanghai rankings will be considered if they have achieved or are likely to achieve final marks of 75%-84%.

Applicants from colleges affiliated to universities which are 251-500 in the Shanghai rankings will be considered if they have achieved or are likely to achieve final marks of 80%-87%.

Applicants from colleges affiliated to universities which are above 500 in the Shanghai rankings will be considered as follows:

  • School of Business and Economics: not considered
  • All other programmes if they have achieved or are likely to achieve final marks of 80%-87%.

Applicants from a small number of Chinese universities that specialise in business, management, finance or creative arts will be given special consideration by the University. The full list of these universities and the Shanghai band under which they will be considered can be found below:

Table of Chinese universities for special consideration

‌*Special consideration for programmes in School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences and Institute for Sport Business only.

Students who do not meet the above requirements may occasionally be considered if they have a relevant degree, can show good grades in relevant subjects, and/or have substantial relevant work experience.
