Artificial Intelligence and Human Factors MSc

1 Years On Campus Masters Program

Coventry University London

Program Overview

The MSc Artificial Intelligence and Human Factors at Coventry University combines advanced AI techniques with a focus on human factors, preparing students to build systems that are both intelligent and human-centred. It suits graduates from computing, engineering or related backgrounds who want to work on AI systems where human interaction, safety, usability or ethics matter.

Curriculum Structure:
Students start with modules like Neural and Evolutionary Computing, AI Systems and Human Factors, and Human Factors for CAV and Safety Management, learning core AI methods alongside how human perception, safety and design influence AI applications. They also study Advanced Software Development, gaining practical programming and system-engineering skills to build robust AI solutions. The programme culminates in an Individual Research Project, where each student applies their AI and human-factors knowledge to a real-world or research challenge — designing, evaluating and reflecting on human-aware intelligent systems.

Focus areas: “Artificial Intelligence, Human Factors, Neural & Evolutionary Computing, Human-Centred AI Design, Safety & Autonomous Systems, Software Engineering”

Learning outcomes: “Design and implement AI models; integrate human factors and ergonomics into AI systems; develop safe, usable and ethical intelligent applications; conduct independent research combining AI and human-centric design.”

Professional alignment (accreditation): The degree is tailored to meet demand for professionals who can engineer AI systems with strong consideration for user safety, human behaviour, autonomy and ethics — roles relevant in automotive, healthcare, smart systems, autonomous vehicles and human-robot interaction.

Reputation (employability rankings): Coventry University is recognised for industry-linked programmes and high graduate employability, giving MSc graduates good prospects in sectors needing AI specialists with human-centric and safety-aware design skills.

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)

Students gain practical skills by applying AI and machine learning to solve human-centric challenges, using the University's simulation centre, immersive environments, and computing labs to design and evaluate intelligent systems. This applied learning is central to the curriculum:

Software: Training in Python with key AI libraries (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn) and user research tools.
Simulation Facilities: Access to Coventry's immersive simulation centre for testing AI interactions in realistic scenarios.
Human Factors Projects: Hands-on work designing AI systems with a focus on usability, safety, and user experience.
Research Project: An individual dissertation focusing on the intersection of AI and human-centred design.
Interdisciplinary Approach: Combines AI techniques with psychology and human factors engineering.
