Course summary

Our MSc is part of a £30m Government initiative to address the shortage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data specialists. Open to students from a wide variety of backgrounds, it draws on our internationally recognised research. You’ll learn about the underlying principles and concepts of AI and data science, including areas of mathematics, data analytics, programming, system design, cloud computing, machine learning, visualisation and more. Why choose this course?

  • Research-led teaching capitalises on our internationally recognised expertise in computational neuroscience, evolutionary systems, machine learning and AI, software and systems engineering
  • Develop and then put your professional and technical skills to use solving a real-world problem on either an industrial placement or MSc Project
  • Access to specialist equipment, including over 100 PCs with relevant hardware and software (Microsoft and Linux), gaming lab, high-performance computing infrastructure and Makerspace
  • Small class sizes and strong, inclusive research community, recently extended to the academic network of the Alan Turing Institute, the UK’s national institute for data science and AI
Digital skills have a crucial role to play in helping to drive growth, productivity and innovation across the rest of the economy, yet one in three businesses say their workforce currently lacks the advanced digital skills they need. This MSc offers a postgraduate pathway to progress and excel in a career as a data scientist, providing digital skills and knowledge so you can support a diverse range of industries, including medicine, transport, social sciences, biosciences and sports business, to take advantage of the efficiencies and insight new technology can generate. To ensure course content meets employer needs, the curriculum has been developed with feedback from companies who sit on our Employer Steering Group; local businesses like Synectics Solutions Ltd and Powelectrics, as well as multinationals, such as Santander. About Keele Keele University was established in 1949 by the former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University.
