MSc Applied Artificial Intelligence

Taking this course towards the latter part of my thirty-year career in Financial Markets gave me the flexibility to fit the course around my existing commitments to both part-time work and family.  After graduating with my MA Philosophy and AI, I was delighted to be offered a place to study for a PhD at Kings College London in the Philosophy department, focusing on AI Ethics. My MA and in particular the dissertation gave me the knowledge and confidence to apply for and embark on the PhD. Northeastern University London’s philosophy faculty were also very supportive in my application 

This programme has significantly enhanced my confidence and capability as a technology leader. Personally, it has sharpened how I think, encouraging critical analysis, ethical reflection, and systems-level understanding. Professionally, it has expanded my skillset beyond operational delivery into strategic AI leadership. The MSc programme has helped me to address problems with a wide context, collaborating data, technology, and ethics

The teaching quality is exceptional because it’s so interactive. It’s not just about memorizing algorithms; the course is designed around applying what we learn to real-world scenarios. We move from theory to practice very quickly, which helps the concepts stick. The focus on project-based learning means I’m building a portfolio while I study, which gives me the confidence that I’m ready for the workforce. The support here is genuine. Whether it’s during office hours or just a quick chat after class, the faculty are very accessible. They don’t just give generic feedback; they give specific advice on how to improve my work and think more critically. Knowing I have that safety net makes me feel comfortable taking risks and tackling harder problems.

The online Contemporary Creative Writing MA has exceeded my expectations in every way. It is a joy to be part of this global writing community, such a supportive network of like-minded people. The lecturers are fabulous, approachable and filled with enthusiasm and knowledge. When I was looking for an MA, I was initially impressed with the time taken to talk to me about the course, demonstrating the time and effort taken to personalise the experience for each student. I made the best choice when I chose this course, at this university. It has been the most wonderful learning experience I could have wished for.

The course is set up excellently for building core competencies in philosophy and AI whilst allowing for plenty of room to explore areas of interest. For me I wanted a blend of technical and humanities skills which I found in both the core modules and taking the programming modules as well. Lecturers are fantastic and offer the highest quality teaching whilst leaving space for students to grow together and take advantage of the diverse range of skills and perspectives in each cohort
