Build your understanding of AI and the opportunities in Science and Engineering
At The University of Manchester, scientists and engineers are working together to make fundamental discoveries and tackle some of the world's biggest challenges. From climate and energy to health and technology, our research harnesses the power of different disciplines and uses tools such as artificial intelligence to create new ideas and deliver real-world impact.
Who we are
More than 12,500 science and engineering students work with a community of almost 3,000 researchers and academics across a range of disciplines including computer science, engineering, environmental science, chemistry, materials science, maths and physics. By working together, we tackle global challenges and make discoveries that shape all our futures.
Advancing AI Research and Innovation
At The University of Manchester we are exploring how AI works with and enhances human capabilities, rather than replaces them. We answer big questions about our world as well as work with other organisations to understand their challenges, and design solutions using AI responsibly and ethically. In addition to our expert researchers, the University has a rich research ecosystem of world-leading Institutes, Centres, equipment and facilities, all helping to turn ideas into action.
