The Knowledge, Information and Data Science MSc, offered by UCL’s Department of Information Studies (DIS), enables graduates with computational and mathematical strengths to specialise in modern, AI-driven approaches to information science, data science and knowledge engineering. The course integrates current industry practice with cutting-edge research in artificial intelligence, preparing graduates for diverse careers across the information and technology sectors.  


We take the view that knowledge of foundational principles, and the ability to independently analyse, apply and adapt technologies to novel problem domains, are critical to today’s academics and professionals. As such, we teach topics in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science and statistics, logic and knowledge representation, information retrieval, language modelling and generative AI, natural language processing, database technologies and information governance. Throughout the course we develop computational and programming skills, alongside engagement with contemporary research.
