Master of Science - Data Science and Artificial Intelligence

The MSc in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge required to collect, process, analyse, and interpret data using advanced AI techniques. The programme combines fundamental theory with practical application, enabling students to develop the professional competencies needed in today’s data-driven workplace.

With the rapid growth of data across a wide range of industries, organisations face both significant challenges and opportunities in extracting meaningful insights. The course addresses these challenges by focusing on how large-scale data can be effectively utilised to improve products, services, and decision-making processes. Artificial intelligence plays a central role in this, supporting the development of intelligent systems capable of learning and contributing to strategic organisational outcomes.

The programme follows a modular structure, offering flexibility for students who may wish to study on a part-time basis. To achieve a full master’s qualification, students are required to successfully complete all modules outlined in the course structure. Options are also available for those pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma or Certificate, with module selection tailored accordingly.

Students benefit from access to newly developed, purpose-built facilities at the Headington campus. These include advanced resources such as a VR cave, digital and robotics laboratories, modern computing suites, and collaborative learning spaces, alongside dedicated teaching areas and social environments.
