Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Certificate (Online)

This online postgraduate certificate welcomes graduates from any subject who wish to enter computer science, and it does not assume previous programming experience. It introduces how businesses apply artificial intelligence alongside data science, and the employment opportunities that follow. You look at uses including chatbots, virtual assistants, medical diagnosis, recognition of biometric data, personalised services, fraud detection and self-operating machines, each of which raises its own practical questions. In each area you assess the benefits and risks of these methods, including the social and practical effects. Completing the award prepares you for further study towards a postgraduate diploma or master's. Everything is delivered online on a part-time basis, with no need to attend a campus, which supports study alongside work and other commitments.
