MSc Artificial Intelligence

The MSc Artificial Intelligence at Sheffield Hallam University is designed for students to learn techniques relevant to the field of AI, ranging from machine learning to natural language processing. Students will address real-world challenges while developing their problem-solving and professional skills, as well as a portfolio that enhances their employability in the field of AI as well as other related industries.

Students will explore technical concepts across key areas of AI, including machine learning foundations, neural networks, systems for robotic logic, and computer vision techniques. Together, these lead into early course projects such as simulating a self-driving robot and evaluating its success.

They will also engage in AI research, enhancing their learning and leading into their individual dissertation project.
