COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc Artificial Intelligence program at Oxford Brookes University combines advanced technical knowledge, research skills, and practical experience to prepare students for careers in AI and data-driven industries. The course begins with a Research Methods module that develops academic, professional, and research skills needed for lifelong careers in computing and artificial intelligence. Students study Autonomous Intelligent Systems to understand how intelligent technologies operate across different environments and applications. The Principles of Data Science module introduces core concepts, tools, and techniques used to analyse and visualise large datasets, while Statistical Modelling develops understanding of the mathematical and statistical methods required for analysing complex data. The Machine Learning and Data Mining module explores modern AI technologies, data analysis methods, and current industry applications, helping students understand how machine learning is transforming businesses and technology. Practical teamwork and software development skills are strengthened through the Group Software Project, where students collaborate to evaluate and apply AI solutions to real-world scenarios. The program concludes with a Dissertation in Computing Subjects, an independent research and development project completed under academic supervision. Students investigate a specialised AI topic in depth and may collaborate with research institutions or industry organisations. Overall, the course equips graduates with strong analytical, technical, and problem-solving abilities for careers in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, and software development.
