Master of Science in Advanced Data Science and Artificial Intelligence

About this Program

This program is jointly run by Tianjin University and the University of Liverpool. It integrates the high-quality educational resources of both universities, and fully adopts the curriculum system of UOL (courses are delivered either by faculty from UoL or by TJU faculty following the teaching standards of UoL). It is dedicated to cultivating outstanding talents in the field of artificial intelligence with international perspectives, innovative capabilities, and the adaptability to meet the demands of global economic development.

Gain hands-on experience of big data analytics, data mining and visualisation techniques using high-performance computer technology. This MSc enables students to develop IT solutions to big data problems in a sector with a significant skills shortage.

Big data is increasingly important in the contemporary business and IT world. For many public and private enterprises, analysis of large-scale data sets is critical to growth.

This MSc will prepare students for employment in an IT industry where big data professionals are in high demand.

Students will learn how to interrogate vast amounts of structured and unstructured data and make informed insights from datasets that are too large to be readily processed using standard techniques.

This program will provide an overview of the key algorithms, algorithmic approaches and software environments that will be used when solving big data problems and explore data mining techniques.

Hands-on programming experience with the latest multi-core and multi-processor platforms will ensure students’ expertise in big data is underpinned by knowledge of high-performance computing. Further opportunities to specialise and enhance students’ knowledge of algorithms, optimisation and machine learning are available through a range of optional modules.

Students will work as part of a small group on a practical project to find a solution to a big data problem. This program will also provide a thorough grounding in how to plan and conduct research in preparation for dissertation.

Program Planning

Students need to complete 190 credits (according to UoL credit system), including 180 credits of courses offered by Uol and one course offered by TJU (converted to the 10-credit standard of UoL). Students who meet the degree requirements will be formally awarded the Master of Science in Advanced Data Science and Artificial Intelligence by UoL.
