About Artificial Intelligence MSc/PG Dip/PG Cert, MSc, PG Cert, PG Dip - at De Montfort University

Artificial Intelligence (AI) encompasses the techniques and methods used to tackle problems that traditional approaches to computing struggle to solve. The four areas of fuzzy logic, evolutionary computing, neural networks and natural language processing encompass much of what is considered to be artificial intelligence. There are also opportunities to apply what you learn in areas such as robot control and games development, depending on your interests.   

You will study neural systems, natural language processing and research methods and applications while developing your skills in our dedicated robotics laboratory, equipped with a variety of mobile robots. The applied computational intelligence module considers knowledge-based systems, as well as the historical, philosophical and future implications of AI, and focuses on current research and applications in the area.    

Modules include work based on research by the Institute of Artificial Intelligence (IAI). With an established international reputation, its work focuses on the use of fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, evolutionary computing, mobile robotics and biomedical informatics, providing theoretically sound solutions to real-world decision making and prediction problems. Previous students have published papers with their IAI project supervisors and progressed on to PhD study.
