MSc Artificial Intelligence

1 Year On Campus Masters Program

London Metropolitan University

Program Overview

The MSc Artificial Intelligence at London Metropolitan University equips students with core and advanced AI and machine-learning skills, plus exposure to big data, cloud/IoT, security and autonomous systems. It suits graduates in computing, engineering or related fields who want to build AI-driven software or systems for industry, research or IT-security roles.

Curriculum structure:
Students study modules such as Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, AI Vision and Deep Learning, Data Warehousing and Big Data, Cloud Computing and the Internet of Things, and Information Security — gaining foundations in AI algorithms, data management, big-data processing, IoT architectures, and security-aware programming.
They cap the course with an MSc Project, where they design and implement a complete AI or intelligent-system solution — applying their learning to real-world or research-style problems.

Focus areas: “Machine Learning; Deep Learning & Computer Vision; Big Data & Cloud/IoT; Security Analytics; Data Warehousing; Intelligent Systems”
Learning outcomes: “Build ML/DL models; handle and analyse large or real-time data; design AI-driven and IoT/cloud-based systems; incorporate security and data governance; complete independent AI projects.”
Professional alignment (accreditation): The degree is accredited by British Computer Society (BCS) — partial CITP/CEng status — preparing graduates for roles as AI engineers, data scientists, security analysts, and IT professionals.
Reputation (employability rankings): As a London-based university with BCS accreditation and industry-relevant training, the programme benefits from strong graduate employability in computing, AI, data science and IT sectors across UK and international job markets.

Experiential Learning (Research, Projects, Internships etc.)
