Overview
The Brighton International College Level 6 Diploma in Artificial Intelligence is an undergraduate-level qualification designed to equip learners with an in-depth understanding of contemporary Artificial Intelligence (AI) methodologies, practices, and the evolving technological landscape. This qualification explores both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of AI, enabling learners to engage in discussion, research, and the development of AI systems across a range of domains.
The qualification is structured as a progressive undergraduate pathway, comprising the Level 4 Certificate in Artificial Intelligence, Level 5 Certificate in Artificial Intelligence, and culminating in the Level 6 Diploma in Artificial Intelligence. This staged approach allows learners to build knowledge and skills incrementally, from foundational concepts to advanced applications.
Learners will gain comprehensive insight into core AI principles, including classical symbolic and statistical approaches, before progressing to more advanced areas such as machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, intelligent agents, ethics and fairness in AI, and the role of AI in sustainable development. The programme also examines the impact of AI across multiple sectors and its contribution to addressing real-world and sustainability challenges.
The qualification includes mandatory units that focus on the essential components of Artificial Intelligence, ensuring a coherent and holistic learning experience. The curriculum covers a broad range of topics, including an introduction to AI, data-driven approaches, deep learning techniques, ethical and societal considerations, AI for sustainability, and the design and deployment of intelligent agents. This approach develops both technical competence and critical awareness of AI’s implications in modern society.
Upon successful completion of the Brighton International College Level 6 Diploma in Artificial Intelligence, learners will possess the knowledge and practical skills required for roles related to AI research, development, and implementation.
