Advanced Machine Learning MSc

Go beyond simply using AI tools. Develop the expertise to design and deploy intelligent systems that are transforming industries from healthcare and finance to autonomous vehicles and entertainment.

At Bath, you'll explore the foundations of machine learning before developing specialist expertise in reinforcement learning, computer vision and natural language processing. Gain hands-on experience designing and deploying machine learning systems using current tools, software libraries and cloud technologies, with access to Bath’s in-house GPU cluster. You can also tailor your studies through optional units such as Bayesian Machine Learning and Humans and Intelligent Machines.

Your studies culminate in a substantial research project, where you’ll apply advanced techniques to a fundamental or applied AI challenge. With employer events and industry links including Amazon Video, PayPal, JP Morgan, IBM and Deloitte, you’ll develop the skills and commercial awareness to pursue roles such as machine learning engineer, data scientist or AI researcher, or progress to further research including a PhD.
