MSc MSc Applied Machine Learning for Creatives

  • DeadlineStudy Details: 1 year (45 weeks including summer thesis project)

Masters Degree Description

Our focused master’s programme offers you a further engagement with the core skills to utilise and innovate machine learning and data approaches to creative applications. Furthermore, the ethical dimension of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is actively explored in this course ensuring you have a deep understanding of the power of this technology.

You will apply scientific principles to support creation of mathematical models of real-world problems through computer programming. Different competencies will be measured across the programme through project work, creative practice and core programming. Special attention will be given to the development of your Applied Machine Learning Final Project that targets your preferred technology sector or domain of work. This is to support your progression to industry or academic research.

What to expect

  • Coding for machine learning: You will learn practical coding skills in core modern programming languages, which can be applied in a wide range of AI industries and beyond.
  • Project-based learning: You will complete a range of computing projects, applying your skills and knowledge to resolve real world problems.
  • Ethical data practices: You will learn how data practices have the potential to impact individuals and society.
  • Collaboration and creativity: You will collaborate with your post graduate peers to creatively solve problems together bringing your varied undergraduate experience to advanced problems. This ability is a core attribute sought after by many graduate employers.
  • The CCI community: You will join a significant community of students, academics and researchers who are passionate about the future of data and computing. You will also be part of our integrated online community where you can access technical support, events, employment opportunities and more.

Industry experience and opportunities

You will learn using industry standard tools and advanced frameworks ensuring you are ready to progress to a wide range of roles across the technology sector.

Module Details

Coding for Digital Media

This unit provides an introduction to programming for digital media, focusing on its applications within creative fields. It covers key frameworks and tools that support digital media development, equipping students with practical skills for multimedia creation.

Conversational Interfaces

This practical class introduces students to fundamental coding concepts and develops key coding skills in the context of developing practical coding projects. Students will use coding languages such Python and JavaScript to develop chatbots and other kinds of conversational interfaces. Various approaches to chatbot design, such as flow-based, intent-based, retrieval-based, and generative-AI chatbots will be explored and developed in practical activities. 

Data Science for Creative Industry

This computing and seminar unit is an introduction to data-driven insights for creative fields looking at  exploratory data analysis, visualisation techniques and machine learning models for recommendation systems and personalisation.

Multimedia Machine Learning 

This practical class introduces students to contemporary machine learning toolkits in order to carry out supervised and unsupervised learning approaches to media processing and generation. It also includes exploring contemporary ML approaches including CNNs, Transformers, Diffusion models, multi-modal learning and other emerging methods. Students will learn how contemporary neural networks are built and trained, as well as how custom and pre-trained models can be used and developed for interactive and human-centred applications.  

Performing Data

This unit explores how data and machine learning can be applied to develop visual art, music and performance. Through group work, workshops, seminars and crits, students will develop hands on experience of using machine learning for live performance and the critical theory surrounding this practice.

Applied Machine Learning Final Project

This self-directed unit ask you to build and document a practical project and write an associated thesis report that documents your technical methods, process of design and development and evaluation.
