About the Centre
Following the success of our CDT in Interactive AI, UKRI have awarded us funding to train another five cohorts of ten students starting annually in 2024-28. Practice-oriented AI is all about tackling complex problems in science and research and developing powerful pipelines employing state-of-the-art AI algorithms and techniques. You could say that practice-oriented AI is to artificial intelligence what software engineering is to programming: a systematic method to design and implement AI solutions that are fit for purpose and get the job done in the best possible way.
Why study with us?
- Bristol has been named “one of the UK’s hottest AI hubs”, hosting the Isambard-AI supercomputer as well as a range of other AI research and projects. It is a vibrant, friendly place to live and study.
- The PrO-AI training programme is designed for people who want to become AI generalists, with broad knowledge of the available tools and when and how to use them.
- You are a problem solver with an interest in AI applications, but you don’t necessarily want to restrict yourself to a single application area.
- You want to make the most of your time at the University of Bristol and enjoy engaging with and learning from some of the UK’s leading AI experts.
- You will have access to our extensive network of UK and international academic and industry partners, many of whom offer research visits and internships.
- You will participate in a wide range of research seminars, reading groups and other events on relevant topics at Bristol, including an AI seminar series and annual Summer Schools and CDT conferences.
The recent investments in AI research, training and hardware at the University of Bristol are a result and recognition of our long history and leadership in AI, going all the way back to 1998 when we were one of the first universities to establish an MSc in machine learning.
