MSc Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science

The MSc Artificial Intelligence & Computer Science is a 180-credit programme that combines computer science, artificial intelligence, and software engineering. It focuses on the most recent advancements in areas such as machine learning, finding patterns in data, and smart systems, mixing academic understanding with real-world use. The programme is taught at the College's main London campus using a mix of teaching styles, and it is based on the Master of Science in Computer Science (MSCS) programme from Northeastern University's Khoury College of Computer Sciences.

Students will become experts in all parts of computer programming and design. The programme aims to make students very good at creating, putting into practice, and checking software. They will also learn how to work well in small teams. Students will discover how to use rules from algorithms and computer science theories to solve actual computing problems in many different areas. The course includes main subjects like Programming for Data Applications, Basics of Computing, Data and Algorithms, Data Analytics Theories and Uses, AI & Data Ethics, and the MSc Dissertation Project.

Northeastern University London, located in the heart of London, is a highly respected institution. It is known for its practical education that focuses on helping students get good jobs. The university works hard to provide excellent teaching, putting great importance on helping students develop skills that companies want. As part of a larger international group of campuses, Northeastern University London offers many different study programmes. These include degrees for students just starting university (undergraduate) and for those pursuing advanced studies (postgraduate) in fields like computer science, artificial intelligence, business, economics, and humanities. Among its many outstanding choices, the MSc Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science course is particularly special.

Candidates are required to submit a personal statement in which they discuss their reasons for applying for the course and other information regarding their past studies. A relevant academic and/or employer reference is also required. Students have the option to upload their CV along with their applications to demonstrate their work experience.

Grade Requirements:

• Applicants need an undergraduate degree with at least an upper second-class honours (2:1), or an equivalent qualification, in computer science or related engineering or informatics subjects.
• Applicants need to be skilled in using Python for working with data. They should also understand basic machine learning ideas, such as logistic and linear regression. It is also necessary to know how to use specific software tools like Pandas, Matplotlib, and NumPy.

English Proficiency:

• If English is not the applicant's main language, they will need to show that they have a good command of the English language to study at the university. This requires an IELTS (Academic) score of 6.5 overall, with no less than 6.0 in each of the four components (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing).
• Equivalent qualifications are also accepted, such as PTE Academic with a score of 60, or a Duolingo English Test score of 115.

The annual tuition fee for the MSc Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science programme for the 2025/2026 Academic Year is £23,000 per year for International students.

International students applying for postgraduate programmes at Northeastern University London may be eligible for a scholarship worth up to £3,500. These scholarships are awarded based on a competitive process, meaning they are given to the most deserving applicants across various postgraduate courses offered by the university. The university encourages all eligible international students to consider these opportunities, as they can help with tuition fees.

Beyond the university's funding, students can also look into other well-known options for financial help. One such option is the UK Government Postgraduate Loan (PGL), which is available to eligible students who live in England and are undertaking a Master's degree. Another highly prestigious opportunity is the Chevening Scholarship. These scholarships are designed for emerging leaders from different countries around the world who wish to pursue a Master's degree in the UK. Both the PGL and Chevening Scholarships have their own specific eligibility rules and application processes that interested students will need to check carefully.
