Artificial Intelligence

Course description

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing how we live, work and socialise. This programme will expose you to all aspects of AI, from its fundamentals to cutting edge techniques, enabling you to work in this dynamic, fast-moving field. The University of Aberdeen has over 30 years’ experience, and a world-wide reputation in AI-related research, focusing on areas such as machine learning, data science, natural language generation, and multi-agent systems. Spin-out successes include ARRIA NLG, one of the world’s leading natural language generation companies.

This programme covers the theoretical underpinning of a wide variety of AI-related techniques including data and text mining, machine learning (deep learning), reasoning, natural language generation, knowledge representation, and distributed AI systems as well as the technology, techniques, tools, software and methodologies used to apply these underlying theories to real-world problems. Students also learn how to engineer and evaluate AI systems.

Our close industry links mean you will have opportunities to apply your skills through training and networking events and industrial placements organised through organisations such as the Data Lab, Intel AI Academy, IBM, Intelligent Plant, and Aberdeen City Council.
