MSc Artificial Intelligence from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Build expertise for an AI-driven future without leaving Abu Dhabi. Offered online in an exclusive partnership between the University of Lancashire and Robert Kennedy College, the MSc Artificial Intelligence gives you the flexibility to pursue a British postgraduate degree alongside your work, commitments and ambitions.

Earn a British degree with international recognition

A British master’s degree can help you communicate the depth of your postgraduate study to employers and collaborators around the world. It offers a qualification you can carry with you as your career develops across borders.

Studying through the University of Lancashire and Robert Kennedy College partnership allows you to work towards that degree while living in Abu Dhabi. You can develop your knowledge of artificial intelligence without putting an international outlook—or your life in the UAE—on hold.

Complete your degree 100% online in as little as one year

You do not need to relocate or travel to a campus to complete the programme. Its fully online format lets you pursue a master’s degree from your current location, whether you are balancing study with a full-time role or planning your next career move.

With the possibility of completing the programme in as little as one year, you can set an ambitious goal and start applying what you learn sooner. Your own study pace and circumstances will shape your journey.

Study without scheduled online attendance

Your working day may not fit around a fixed lecture time. The programme does not require you to be online at specific times and dates, giving you greater freedom to decide when to engage with your studies.

That flexibility can be especially valuable when projects, family commitments or travel change your routine. You can plan study time around your responsibilities while continuing to work towards your qualification.

Take your studies wherever life takes you

Although you may begin your degree in Abu Dhabi, your learning does not have to stop when you travel. You can study from anywhere in the world, making it easier to maintain momentum during a business trip, a move or time away from home.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. It is a practical way to make use of a flight, a commute or another opportunity to learn when an internet connection is unavailable.

Show your understanding through open-book assessments

Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. This approach gives you the opportunity to draw on resources as you work through the ideas and challenges in your studies.

Open-book assessment encourages you to focus on understanding and applying concepts, not simply recalling information under exam conditions. It can help you practise the thoughtful use of knowledge that complex professional questions demand.

Learn with internationally educated faculty

The programme’s tutors and faculty include graduates of world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. Their educational backgrounds bring a breadth of academic perspectives to your learning experience.

As you explore artificial intelligence, engaging with experienced educators can help you question assumptions, develop your thinking and approach new subjects with confidence. You can benefit from that guidance while studying online from Abu Dhabi.

Join a global student community

With students from more than 130 countries, you can encounter perspectives shaped by different industries, cultures and career paths. Those connections can broaden how you think about the possibilities and responsibilities of artificial intelligence.

Alumni work for international organisations including Raffles World Academy, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their varied paths illustrate the breadth of the wider learning community, although individual career outcomes will differ.

Spread the cost with interest-free instalments

Planning for postgraduate study is easier when you can see how it fits your monthly budget. The programme’s fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments.

This option allows you to spread payments over time while you continue to work and study. You can plan your next step with a clearer view of its cost.

Explore possibilities in Abu Dhabi’s growing industries

Abu Dhabi’s energy sector presents opportunities to think about how AI could support forecasting, equipment maintenance and more efficient operations. The programme’s concepts can give graduates a foundation for contributing to conversations about data and intelligent systems in a sector where reliability matters.

Healthcare and life sciences offer another setting for AI knowledge. From analysing complex information to considering how digital tools might support services, graduates can use their studies to engage thoughtfully with emerging possibilities—while recognising the importance of careful evaluation in high-stakes settings.

Abu Dhabi’s transport, logistics and public-service activities also create questions about planning, demand and the use of data. An understanding of artificial intelligence can help graduates explore approaches to these challenges, connect ideas across industries and contribute to projects with relevance both locally and internationally.
