This Post Graduate Diploma is designed for those who want to pursue a career in Artificial Intelligence (specialising in machine learning and deep learning).
The programme provides students with deeper knowledge and advanced skills that will allow them to contribute to the design and development of machine learning algorithms for automation, predictive modelling, and decision-making.
The study is part-time and online. Online delivery is supported by an induction day at the beginning of the programme. The informative live webinars (two evenings per week) will aim to develop participants’ ability to apply knowledge and understanding of Artificial Intelligence. Participants may have to attend interactive group sessions (Saturdays).
Advance your career in a wide range of roles, including: Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Data Engineer, Software Engineer, Data Analyst or Computer Scientist.
