Postgraduate taught sessions

Data Science MSc introduction

Tuesday 12 November, 13:00-14:00 (GMT)

Data science is the study of the computational principles, methods, and systems for extracting knowledge from data. Large data sets are now generated by almost every activity in science, society, and commerce. Learn more about the Data Science MSc in this presentation by Dr Paolo Guagliardo, Programme Director, followed by a Q&A session.

Artificial Intelligence MSc introduction

Wednesday 13 November, 11:00 - 12:00 (GMT)

AI research is interdisciplinary by nature and draws on neuroscience, cognitive science, linguistics, computer science, mathematics and statistics, psychology. Learn more about the Artificial Intelligence MSc in this presentation by Dr Hakan Bilen, Programme Director, followed by a Q&A session.

Advanced Technology for Financial Computing MSc introduction

Wednesday 13 November, 12:30 - 13:30 (GMT)
