Course Overview

Pursue your ambitions in engineering and technology with the MSc Data and Artificial Intelligence Ethics at The University of Edinburgh. Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, this Russell Group university offers a research-led approach to learning, with a 1-year full-time structure. This programme responds to the urgent demand for interdisciplinary expertise in the ethical design, use and governance of artificial intelligence (AI) and other data-intensive technologies. Many organisations lack the specialist technical and policy expertise needed to manage the ethical challenges of AI, which increasingly go far beyond legal compliance or risk management. As public expectations and regulatory demands increase, all sectors need skilled graduates equipped with critical, creative and advanced data skills. A minimum ielts score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 83% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of ยฃ37,000 within three years, a 89% continuation rate, and 85% of graduates in employment or further study.
