AI is transforming industries across the world, from healthcare and finance to transportation and creative technology. This module focuses on how to take the core principles of artificial intelligence and put them into action, teaching you how to apply existing tools, models, and frameworks to solve meaningful problems.

You will gain hands-on experience working with popular AI platforms such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, and Scikit-learn. Through practical projects, you’ll explore how to adapt and evaluate models in different contexts — developing solutions that are technically sound, scalable, and ethically responsible. This applied focus prepares you to use AI as a tool for innovation and problem-solving in your chosen field.

What you will learn

In this module, you will:

  • explore how AI is used across different sectors and applications
  • gain experience using industry-standard AI tools and frameworks
  • learn how to adapt pre-trained models for new data and tasks
  • design and implement AI systems using real or simulated datasets
  • evaluate the performance, scalability, and ethical implications of AI solutions

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

  • design and deliver AI solutions tailored to specific business or research problems
  • critically evaluate the success and limitations of AI implementations
  • apply professional judgement when using AI tools in applied settings
  • communicate your results and insights clearly through structured project work

Assignments / assessment

  • applied AI project (100%)

Assessment is based on the design, implementation, and evaluation of a practical AI system. This module does not have a final exam.
