Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (Conversion Programme) MSc

Please note that this course will begin earlier than other Queen Mary courses, to allow us to deliver two weeks of intensive pre-sessional teaching, to equip you with the technical skills needed to complete the course. All students of this course will need to arrive in London and enrol during the week commencing 4 September 2023. Teaching will start on 11 September 2023 and attendance at the the pre-sessional modules taught from 11-22 September is mandatory. 

This degree programme aims to help learners without strong backgrounds in programming or statistics to acquire a level of skill in these areas, before learning to apply them to specialist AI techniques.

During the programme, you’ll discover and devise data-driven AI solutions that can be applied to support and enhance organisational decision-making. You’ll also explore the essential ethical and legal issues that need to be considered when developing AI technology.

You’ll attend campus for two weeks of intensive teaching at the beginning of the programme. These two intensive preparatory modules will allow you to acquire the pre-requisite skillset in programming and statistics, before diving into more specialised modules.

Before starting the programme, you can complete a free online short course, Get Ready for a Masters in Data Science and AI, developed by a collaborative partnership of leading higher education institutions, including Queen Mary. The short course is designed to help you identify whether you’re ready for masters study, improve your data science skills, and get to grips with the basics of Python.
