MSc Data Science and AI

University of the Arts London

Our MSc Data Science and AI provides the opportunity to deepen your core competencies in data science and AI, and to strengthen your skills in developing data- and AI-driven products and services. The course actively explores the ethical and social dimensions of data science and AI —ensuring you have a deep and critical understanding of the impacts of related technologies, and a familiarity with arts and human-centred methods for designing and reasoning about new systems.Using computer programming combined with arts and humanities critical approaches, you will apply scientific and mathematical principles to guide the creation and evaluation of mathematical models of real-world problems. This enables the creation of tools that take into account the computational and technical, but also the human, social and cultural aspects that emerge from the entanglement of humans, technology and the environment. You will apply data science and AI to a broad range of domains, involving diverse types of data and content, from numerical data to text and media. And you will critically engage with contemporary thinkers from diverse disciplines concerned with the ethical and social implications of data science and AI. You will approach through collaborative, creative problem solving which leverages and strengthens your technical and teamwork skills, critical thinking, and your knowledge of application domains and stakeholders.Your thesis project should target your preferred technology sector or domain of work, supporting your progression to industry or further academic research.We are committed to ensuring that your skills are set within an ethical framework and are working to embed UAL’s Principles for Climate, Social and Racial Justice.
