AI Programme
Understand AI. See it at work. Build your own.
Week 1 is a classroom Academy on how AI learns, data, testing and responsible use. In weeks 2 to 5 students spend four days a week on placement with a data team, a machine-learning team, a team using generative AI tools and a risk or people team, with a teaching session every morning and hands-on tasks every afternoon. In week 6 they design, test and pitch their own AI solution. Three tracks: Explorer (11–12), Builder (13–14) and Architect (15–17).
