Program Description

You will be trained in adventurous and exciting computational science, working on real-world challenges that will transform society and the economy. While there are valid concerns about what impact big data and artificial intelligence might have on individuals and communities, this programme focuses on human potential, needs, desires and cares, and how these motivations can be used to drive innovation. You will undertake a major project in this area, and may also have the opportunity to take part in additional skill-enhancing activities such as sandpits, retreats and focused training events. As part of a close-knit cohort, students will learn human-centred methods, grounded in a broad range of theoretical, experimental, domain and methodological perspectives to understand how these can amplify and enhance human potential in big data and AI.Completing this MSc considerably enhances your career prospects, whether in academia or industry. A key highlight of the course will be the chance to interact with partners of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Enhancing Human Interactions and Collaborations with Data and Intelligence Driven Systems – we expect many students to go on to careers with these or similar organisations as a result of this course.
