Artificial intelligence (AI) is a broad area of research that uses rigorous and hands-on computational techniques to address significant problems that arise in many disciplines, including, but not limited to, computing systems, economics, business, healthcare, games, medicine design, education and agriculture. With the rapid advance of AI, there is a growing demand for students who can understand and promote AI to all these sectors.
The University of Essex MSc Artificial Intelligence and its Applications conversion course will equip students with a skill set on AI techniques, and prepare them for meeting demand, regardless of their academic background. Students will obtain a comprehensive perspective of the current developments, the needs and the potential of AI, by participating in taught modules that promote a deep understanding of AI methods together with others that deliver the necessary technical expertise.
The course covers areas including: machine learning, data mining, decision-making, and big data. This course will give students both theoretical and technical relevant skills, and will offer: the understanding of the specifics and the intricacies of AI methodologies, the ability to apply both basic and advanced AI methods, and the ability to design and implement novel solutions.
Students will also gain transferable skills such as the ability to develop and present arguments, as well as the ability to work independently and in groups. Within Essex's School of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering lies the very strong AI for Decision Making research group, which will offer graduates of the course networking opportunities.
