MSc Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

The MSc Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (January Start) at the University of Portsmouth is designed to build advanced knowledge of intelligent computing systems. The course delves into how machines learn from data and how intelligent models are designed, tested, and improved. Teaching links theory with practical work used in real computing roles. The course covers core concepts in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and applied computing. A January intake offers flexible entry into a master’s study. At the beginning of the course, students develop a strong base in core concepts. These include programming for data analysis, mathematical foundations, and basic artificial intelligence methods. Students learn how data is prepared, processed, and analysed.

As the MSc Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (January Start) in the University of Portsmouthprogresses, students study machine learning methods in greater depth. Topics include supervised and unsupervised learning, neural networks, and model evaluation. Practical sessions allow students to test models using real datasets and computing tools. The final stage of the course involves an independent project or dissertation. This project allows detailed study of an artificial intelligence or machine learning topic. Teaching includes lectures, seminars, workshops, practical labs, and supervised project work. Assessment methods include coursework, programming assignments, reports, presentations, and exams.
