Artificial Intelligence Postgraduate Certificate

at University of Leeds

Our Artificial Intelligence Postgraduate Certificate will begin with a two-week online induction designed to prepare you for online learning at the University of Leeds. It will introduce the study skills you will need to successfully complete your degree.
 

The four modules provide enough AI coverage to speak directly to the skills that employers are seeking within the AI development sector.
 

The first two modules are compulsory: Programming for Data Science plus a choice of Data Science or Algorithms. Programming for Data Science will provide a firm foundation in programming for data analysis and AI systems to enable you to build systems that integrate with the internet and with databases. The data investigated will be drawn from a sector relevant to your background. After completing the two compulsory modules, you’ll be able to select two more modules from the optional list that most interest you.
 

Please note: The minimum programme duration is 8 months. Depending on when you start the programme it may not be possible to complete the programme in 8 months. You might have to take a study break to complete the course depending on when the selected module is next running.
