MSc Artificial Intelligence with Machine Learning

Artificial intelligence is changing the world, be part of the change.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way machines assist human beings in various ways, ranging from simple voice command and face recognition systems, to more advanced technologies such as improved medical diagnosis systems and self-driving vehicles. The dynamic evolution of AI technologies is shaping ahead a new society where machines are no longer programmed to execute tasks but can learn and take decisions on their own. Machine Learning (ML) is thus a very important component which is empowering and driving forward the various applications of AI. This programme focuses on the core principles of Machine Learning for AI, giving students the ability to understand and apply state of the art techniques to solve modern day challenges.
The MSc Artificial Intelligence with Machine Learning programme aims at enhancing the skills of the students by focusing on applied aspects of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. Students will be in better position to understand how machines are trained to solve real world problems as well as the challenges faced by these systems and their limitations. Student will be able to take appropriate decisions about application of AI and ML in different fields.
