About the programme
To understand artifical intelligence (AI) and its true potential - what it can and can't do - you need to understand how the technology works.
The Oxford Artificial Intelligence Programme is designed for managers, business leaders, and technical professionals across multiple functions and industries looking to understand the workings, possibilities, and ethics of AI technology. It provides a unique opportunity to develop an informed opinion about AI’s applications, as you reflect on its implications and limitations whilst building a business case for its implementation.
The University of Oxford is a global centre for AI, with world-class research ranging from practical applications through to quantitative and computational principles of AI. The programme draws on this unique environment and multidisciplinary experts exclusively sourced from across the University of Oxford to provide a comprehensive exploration of AI and machine learning.
Delivered in collaboration with digital education provider GetSmarter, a 2U, Inc. brand, you will be part of a community learning together through a dedicated Online Campus.

What our alumni say
It is one of the best programmes I’ve ever attended. I would call it an action-packed thriller technology course... It is like parallel processing computers, where we get so much knowledge and so many ideas from fellow students.
