10 Artificial Intelligence and Data Science Masters The University's School of Computing and Mathematics launches new MSc in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Data Science Keele is one of only 18 Universities awarded a share of £13 million by the Office for Students (OfS) to boost the number and diversity of graduates in A.I. and data science technologies over the next three years. As part of this initiative, the School of Computing and Mathematics are launching a new MSc in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science in September 2020. The course is being designed from both an employer and student perspective, based on our internationally recognised research in multidisciplinary A.I. and Data Analytics, to provide distinctive and inclusive teaching for students from a wide variety of backgrounds. The course considers applications from people from all disciplines or areas of work, by providing those without prior experience, modules in the foundations of areas such as programming and mathematics. All students can then progress to more advanced areas such as Machine Learning, Data Analytics, Visualisation, Cloud Computing, the “Internet of Things” and Intelligent Systems. During the course, students will also further develop their academic and professional skills and get the chance to work with other students and external organisations to make real interdisciplinary and societal impact in taught modules and as part of an industrial project/placement. Keele alumni are eligible for a 20% discount off the tuition fee charged. More information on the alumni discount can be found on the Postgraduate Bursaries and Scholarships page here: For more information visit the Postgraduate course page here or email the School’s Director of Education, Dr Ed de Quincey (e.de.
