Looking to study a Master’s in AI in the UK? It’s never been easier with a wide set of Universities in the UK to now choose from as a postgraduate.

The UK has long vaunted its position on artificial intelligence, wishing to be a leading nation in the field by setting up its own cross-departmental Office for Artificial Intelligence, sitting between both DCMS and BEIS.

Naturally with a said cross-office, there’s also a lot of free money (at the time of writing) available to international candidates wishing to study or develop research in this space. To help with all student efforts, we’ve also come up with this handy list of Master’s Degrees in AI that you can study in the UK .

International opportunities available in the UK

One of the most positive and recent stories linked to this, is the British Council Scholarship scheme open to women holding graduation STEM subjects in India, Afghanistan. Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan or Sri Lanka who would like to come to the UK (specifically to City, University of London) to study. You can learn more about the fully-funded MSc in Artificial Intelligence to permanent residents of the specified Central Asian countries who are women, here.

UK Graduate opportunities in AI

For home-grown graduates and others, here are the following Universities in the UK where you can study Artificial Intelligence as a post-graduate.

Home-grown graduates with no postgrad study to their name yet should note the continuing availability of postgraduate loans available on a rolling basis as per application from UK Government — information on the UK’s official centralised applications site here, UCAS.

Conversion courses, funded by UK Gov (2021)

And if you’re anything like the team behind AI Jobs UK, you might need a conversion course (which takes you from a non-STEM background and deep dives you into AI).

And yes. ↗️In response to the skills shortage in the UK for artificial intelligence, the UK Government has also created a fully-funded list of degrees across 18 UK Universities, focused on conversion courses for artificial intelligence via the Office for Students (OfS)! Be sure to make your decision and hit them up now before the funding has gone if this is something you would like to do. You may discover more information on social media too, by searching the hashtag #JoinYourAIFuture.

And finally — all our informative prelim aside😉 — here is our list of UK Unis where you can study AI, As with all of our info and blogs, it’s for educational purposes. Ultimately, your study decisions are your own.
