The 25-week programme, launched in January 2022, offers an interdisciplinary learning experience that will help professionals build in-demand skills to give them a competitive edge in machine learning and artificial intelligence – innovative technologies that are transforming the future of business.

In response to the growing need for professionals in the fields of machine learning and AI, Imperial College Business School has launched, in partnership with global online education provider Emeritus the Professional Certificate in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.

Many companies are almost paralysed when it comes to digital transformation. There's so much happening right now they either don't know where to begin or how to make the maximum impact with the tools they already have.

Each contributing a unique perspective to the programme, Imperial’s Professors Wolfram Wiesemann, Ruth Misener, Christopher Tucci and Senior Teaching Fellow Alex Ribeiro-Castro will help learners develop a comprehensive understanding of machine learning and AI – and verse them in the intricacies that are critical to achieving success in the field.
