AI Project Proposal (984G5)

15 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Autumn teaching

On this module, you’ll construct and present a proposal for a complex research problem within the domain of artificial intelligence.

This module gives you the opportunity to develop a creative project plan for an AI-related challenge that has a high-level of complexity. It should either lead to theoretical contributions to a subfield of AI or employ advanced AI methods to address interdisciplinary or industrial problems.

A primary technical supervisor will advise on your direction and progress. Throughout this module, you'll develop a detailed strategy for how your specific problem will be studied. You will provide details of appropriate techniques and feasible resources that can be used to address the problem. This proposal forms the basis of the main dissertation project.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 2 hours of contact time and about 148 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum. We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
