MSc Artificial Intelligence

The MSc Artificial Intelligence at Oxford Brookes University offers a full-scale, research-informed AI education covering machine learning, data science, autonomous systems and big-data tools. It suits students with strong programming and quantitative background aiming for careers in AI development, research or applied intelligent systems.

Curriculum Structure:
Students begin with core modules such as Machine Learning and Data Mining, Principles of Data Science, Statistical Modelling, Autonomous Intelligent Systems, and Research Methods, where they acquire foundational skills in data analysis, predictive modelling, autonomous-system design and research methodology. They also engage in a Group Software Project, gaining experience in teamwork, software engineering for AI systems, project management and real-world AI application. The year ends with a Dissertation in Computing Subjects, an individual research and development project allowing deep exploration of a chosen AI topic, often in collaboration with research or industry partners.

Focus areas: “Machine Learning, Data Science, Autonomous Systems, Big Data Analytics, AI Software Engineering, Intelligent Systems Research”

Learning outcomes: “Build and apply ML/data-science models; design autonomous intelligent systems; handle large data and visualise insights; manage and deliver AI software projects; conduct independent advanced AI research.”

Professional alignment (accreditation): The programme is grounded in up-to-date research from the school’s AI and data labs, preparing students for roles in software engineering, data analytics, autonomous systems, research and industry-oriented AI applications.

Reputation (employability rankings): Oxford Brookes combines strong computing research groups with hands-on labs (robotics, big-data, cloud), giving graduates good employment prospects in AI and data-driven sectors across technology, engineering and industry.
