Course summary

  • Fast-track yourself towards a career of the future with our two-year accelerated degree, run in collaboration with our industry partners

  • With immersive experiences on site at organisations, and a focus on the real-world application of artificial intelligence (AI), this course aims to meet the needs of modern business.

  • As artificial intelligence reshapes industries and disrupts traditional business models, there is a need for graduates with the skills and ambition to design the world of the future.

  • By studying International Business and AI, you will learn to apply advanced technological solutions to today’s business problems, drive innovation and gain valuable experience for your CV.

Learning supported by industry
Your study will be boosted by case studies, live briefs and guest lectures provided by organisations to put the skills you learn into practice, allowing you to evaluate and develop solutions in a real-world environment. You will have the opportunity to take site visits for immersive experiences to gain a valuable insight into the world of business. An applied project will run across your second year, so you will graduate with a wealth of demonstrable business experience and industry contacts ready to launch your graduate career.

At the forefront of new technology
As well as developing your technical skills, we also put emphasis on your intellectual growth. We aim to develop your ability to continually learn and relearn as AI technologies evolve.
