2-Semester Pathway - Pre-Master's Programme - Continue to Master of Science - Artificial Intelligence

The Level 6 Pre-Master’s Programme (PMP) is a two-semester programme, with guaranteed progression to a wide range of Master’s degrees at Loughborough University.

This Pre-Master’s Programme (PMP) is designed to prepare international students for postgraduate study in the United Kingdom. The PMP will allow them to improve their English while learning the study skills and research methods that they will need during their Master's degree studies. They will study academic modules relating to their chosen progression route. Each semester consists of thirteen teaching weeks, one reading week, and an assessment week. The weekly hours of study varies by semester with them on average studying around 18-21 (and up to 21) hours per week. Each module will have an assessment schedule, which will be completed by the end of the appropriate semester. Assessments will be designed to demonstrate learning across the individual modules of the programme and to allow them to experience a wide range of the assessment methods used in United Kingdom postgraduate programmes. Assessments will include coursework, essays, reports and other structured assignments, oral examination and unseen written examinations.

Master of Science - Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the world and the advances being made in this fast-paced field of computer science creates a demand for forward-thinking and highly-skilled individuals possessing the skills and knowledge with which this Master of Science - Artificial Intelligence programme is designed to equip students. Drawing on the Department’s research strength, this programme will appeal to those seeking to build on a first degree in Computer Science by specialising in the quickly evolving fields of AI, data mining and machine learning – areas that are already having a profound impact in everything from business and finance to health and the environment.
