Title

Postgraduate Diploma in Science in Artificial Intelligence

Programme Purpose

There is one embedded programme in the Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence, a Postgraduate Diploma in Science in Artificial Intelligence. The Postgraduate Diploma is offered as an exit award for learners who cannot complete the full Master’s programme. Semester one (FT) lays the groundwork for the programme and encompasses mostly foundational modules that focus on providing a solid and comprehensive understanding of the relevant concepts, a proficiency in the use of programming for data analytics and machine learning and pattern recognition. Learners develop advanced applied skills in essential areas such as programming, graph, machine learning, and pattern recognition for AI, while also offering theoretical knowledge of cognitive science and research methods. Semester two (FT) builds on this by covering advanced modules in which the knowledge, understanding, and skills acquired in the first semester can be employed. Semester two modules offer applied skills in topics such as deep learning, reinforcement learning, and natural language processing, as well as recommender systems. In addition, the programme aims to incorporate advanced practical skills in each module for the professional development of learners to enhance their employability options. This will enable the learner to integrate seamlessly into an organisation by addressing skills such as awareness of social media, leadership, self-management, teamwork, and academic writing that are essential for a Level 9 graduate.
