Are you ready to design systems that think, learn, and adapt?

Artificial Intelligence powers the systems that define modern life. This includes healthcare, finance, creative industries, and sustainability. This MSc is for computing graduates who want to create AI tools, not just use them.

You’ll develop the expertise to design, build, and optimise intelligent systems, learning how algorithms, data, and computation come together to create technologies that reason, predict, and evolve.

Advance your expertise

Deepen your knowledge in core areas of modern AI, like machine learning, computer vision, and automation. Explore how to design, train, and deploy intelligent systems. You’ll gain both theoretical and practical skills to develop AI solutions from scratch.

Your studies will also cover the ethics and societal impacts of AI. This prepares you to create technologies that are powerful and responsible. By graduation, you’ll be ready to contribute to an industry reshaping our world.

Learn through innovation

Tackle real-world challenges that reflect professional AI practice. Build models that make accurate predictions and design systems that adapt to new information.

Your final project will blend creativity and rigour, letting you explore an AI topic that excites you. Past projects have included smart voice interfaces, design systems that generate ideas, and deep learning for image recognition.

Join a community shaping the future

Learn from researchers and practitioners at the forefront of AI development. You’ll be supported by a collaborative cohort that shares your passion for innovation. Dundee’s AI community blends skills in computing, data science, and human-computer interaction. This mix creates a space where new ideas can grow.

Seminars, guest talks, and student-led activities link you with others. Together, you’ll explore the potential and challenges of AI in society.

Graduates of this course take on roles such as AI engineer, machine learning specialist, data scientist, and research developer. With strong skills in AI theory and practice, you’ll be set to shape smart technologies that are changing every part of the global economy.
