Course summary

Our 100% online Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip) is designed for graduates with a background in computer science or relevant professional experience who want to develop advanced expertise to design, implement, and critically evaluate intelligent systems that underpin modern technological innovation.

Our specialist course brings together both data-driven approaches - such as machine learning, deep learning and generative AI - with knowledge-based approaches including automated reasoning, planning, knowledge representation and intelligent control. This integrated approach enables you to understand not only how hybrid AI systems achieve performance, but how their decisions are structured, interpreted, justified and trusted.

You’ll gain a deep understanding of the principles and computational techniques that enable intelligent behaviour in machines. Throughout the course you’ll learn to select appropriate AI methods for complex, real-world challenges, evaluate their performance and limitations, and implement working systems using contemporary AI frameworks and tools such as Python and MATLAB.

This course aims to prepare you for careers in AI, robotics, autonomous systems, intelligent decision support, and related fields.
