Computer Vision & Artificial Intelligence

Key programme benefits to future students
Students will learn about modern Deep Learning approaches to many machine and computer vision problems across a wide range of industry-focused applications, including object detection, 3D image processing and facial recognition.

This programme is co-designed with industry. It focuses on peer-to-peer and team learning, critical reflection and feedback incorporating coding challenges in AI and Computer Vision to give the student the skills to work confidently in this in-demand area.

Students will have an option to complete a capstone masters project in Computer Vision and AI or to join our Digital Futures and Innovation Stream. The latter is designed for students that are destined to become industry leaders or entrepreneurs.
