Course decision guide

Is this the right route for you?

Use these fit questions alongside the qualification facts. Final entry and recognition decisions remain with the relevant provider or receiving organisation.

This route may suit you if

  • Graduates or suitably qualified learners who want postgraduate-level study of artificial intelligence methods, ethics and applications.
  • People interested in deep learning, intelligent agents, sustainability and research through a regulated academic diploma.
  • Learners who understand that assignment-based study should be supported by separate practical technical development.

Compare another route first if

  • You need an introductory computing course and do not yet meet the normal Level 6 or degree entry requirement.
  • You expect the diploma alone to provide a complete master’s degree, a technical portfolio or guaranteed AI employment.
