Structure
The University’s MSc Artificial Intelligence & Computer Science masters is a 180-credit programme.
The programme provides an opportunity for students to pursue an interdisciplinary project in digital humanities and computer or data, under the joint supervision of academic advisors from each discipline.
Part-time study
The Masters programme can be taken part-time over two years. Part-time students attend the same classes as their full-time colleagues, taking 50% of the course load each academic year.
Our Masters programmes are demanding and we advise students that, if they intend to work alongside the course, their work should be flexible in nature. However, we will work with students, where possible taking into account their individual circumstances and need, to be flexible with our provisions.
Timetables
Timetables are usually made available to students during Freshers’ Week. Teaching can be scheduled to take place during any day of the week. However, when possible, Wednesday afternoons are usually reserved for sports and cultural activities.
