About this degree
There is a high demand for graduates with combined expertise in machine learning and software engineering to fill positions advertised as Artificial Intelligence Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer or Data Engineer.
This new MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering responds to this demand by integrating modules from our highly regarded MSc in Software Systems Engineering and from our Master’s in machine learning, together with newly created modules in data engineering.
The programme covers foundations and practices for all software engineering activities needed for the design, coding, testing, deployment and evolution of large-scale, data-intensive systems. It also includes electives in machine learning and data science.
The programme includes a substantial engineering or research project where you will apply the knowledge and skills developed throughout the year to real-world problems. Most of our Master’s engineering projects are in collaboration with our industry partners through the Department’s leading Industry Exchange Network (IXN). Research projects are with world experts in the fields of software engineering and Artificial Intelligence.
Who this course is for
The programme is designed for students with a background and a strong interest in software engineering.
If your primary interest is in data science and machine learning rather than the engineering of complex software systems that use Machine Learning, our other Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning-related MSc programmes may be more suitable.
