Overview
Understand the mathematics that underpins artificial intelligence, and develop the skills needed to build machine learning models.
You’ll make yourself vital to an age of artificial intelligence by building invaluable theoretical and practical abilities. You’ll study powerful mathematical concepts and tools, and bring them to bear on subjects like machine learning, neural networks, and Python coding.
Once you graduate, you’ll be set to enter any of the industries being transformed by AI and machine learning tools. You'll learn how to apply large language models such as ChatGPT, and how to analyse images and other live data coming from sectors such as healthcare, education and business. You'll also be ready to move into roles that rely on mathematical understanding, such as finance or government, or to take up postgraduate study in maths or artificial intelligence.
Course highlights
Careers and opportunities
Studying machine learning shows you’re committed to understanding the needs of the growing artificial intelligence sector. Forbes magazine predicts a 71% growth in jobs that need AI or machine learning skills by 2026, and research suggests that the UK will face a skill gap that your knowledge could help fill.
You’ll also graduate with a deep understanding of the mathematical principles, theories and methods that make machine learning possible - unlike other degrees in this field, our degree in Mathematics and Machine Learning is designed to give you the underlying understanding that will help you grasp future developments in the sector.
Additionally, your mathematical study will make you employable in sectors beyond machine learning, as you’ll be able to show your readiness for careers in finance, analysis, or anywhere that analytical problem-solving is a bonus.
Typical roles
You can expect to apply for roles like “machine learning engineer” or “machine learning scientist”; or, more broadly, titles like “data engineer” or “data scientist”. More generally, you’ll find your ability to build models that learn from data is in demand in sectors such as finance, education, retail, defence, government research.
Ongoing career support – up to 5 years after you graduate
Get experience while you study, with support to find part-time jobs, volunteering opportunities, and work experience.
Towards the end of your degree and for up to five years after graduation, you’ll receive one-to-one support from our Graduate Recruitment Consultancy to help you find your perfect role.
