MASc in AI and Society students will graduate with a unique mix of an analytical and critical approach to AI, a technical grounding that enables them to interrogate and develop AI, and experience in approaching policy and governance implications of AI. With almost all organisations being transformed by AI in different ways, graduates from this MASc will be able to follow diverse career pathways. Whichever path they follow, graduates will be able to bring in a distinct, interdisciplinary outlook that builds on their comprehensive training. Students will be able to elect optional modules to develop in ways that fit their career objectives. Some exemplary profiles can be:
AI Policy Researchers:
Graduates will be well equipped to join policy teams in think tanks, civil society organization, as well as technology companies to offer advice on the risks and opportunities of the use of AI systems.
AI Governance Researchers and Advisors:
Graduate will be trained to work on governance and ethical challenges around AI, and this will enable them to apply to work for national governments, international organizations, as well as technology companies on AI governance.
AI Developers:
Graduates will be trained to work technically in designing and developing AI systems and can apply to positions as developers, systems designers and programmers.
Data Scientists:
Graduates will be able to work effectively with data and AI algorithms that operate on that data to generate insights and inform organisational decisions.
AI Journalism:
Graduates will have unique training not only in technical but also societal aspects of AI, as a result, they will be uniquely positioned to report on AI development.
User Experience Designers:
Graduates will be well positioned to work with product teams to not only develop AI systems but also engage with the wider social and political landscape of their deployment.
AI Diversity, and Inclusion Advocates:
Graduates will be trained to critically appraise AI, and in doing so introduced to debates around diversity, equity and inclusion in the design, development, deployment of AI.
How will the MASc programme support students’ employability?
The MASc will offer a range of initiatives to develop experiences and skills to help student employability, prepare them for future careers and enable them to apply their learning on real-world problems:
AI-Design Camp:
A 1-week intensive AI-Design Camp will take place over the summer term where we invite NGOs, policy-focused organisations, and community groups to provide a brief for students to collectively work on in small groups. This will involve mini masterclasses in creative methods for technology/society engagement such as policy mapping, participatory research, situation analysis, data walks, design workshops. As part of the AI-design camp, experts from the collaborating organisations (some of which will also be offering placements) will do talks and showcases to offer students an opportunity to gain an understanding of how careers in AI are developing in different sectors.
Short placements:
As a credit-bearing optional module, students will be able to undertake a 4 to 6 week-long placement working with a non-academic partner on a placement project. The topics will be provided by the non-academic partners in dialogue with the academic course team. Students on the placement module will then be matched with the placement provider partners.
Final project with optional placement:
Students will have the choice between writing a research-based dissertation or doing a practice-based final project. In the latter case, the issue/problem that the students work with will be developed as a result of a dialogue between an external non-academic partner, the student and their academic supervisors, which may be supported by an optional placement.
Career development programme:
CIM offers an active career development programme with talks from recent graduates, potential employers and career services professionals offering general careers advice.

How our Careers Support helps students
In the beginning of term 3, I attended a careers fair that was nothing short of transformative.
The event brought together a diverse array of companies and organisations, each eager to connect with students and introduce their graduate scheme programs, internships, and permanent positions…
The atmosphere was vibrant, and the wealth of information available was immense.
The careers support at Warwick is comprehensive and designed to equip students with the tools they need to succeed in their professional journeys.
As a student, these resources have been instrumental in shaping my career path and boosting my confidence as I step into the professional world.”
