ICA Online Diploma in Artificial Intelligence (Level 5)
The ICA Online Diploma in Artificial Intelligence (Level 5) combines foundational artificial intelligence, Python programming, data, and applied mathematics with machine learning, generative AI, prompt engineering, responsible AI, and an applied capstone project.
Students will gain practical experience creating Python programs, preparing datasets, building and evaluating machine learning models, developing AI assistants and business automations, assessing AI risks, and delivering a real AI solution. Mathematics is taught with a practical, applied focus rather than a heavy theoretical approach.
The programme consists of eight courses worth 15 credits each, delivered across two semesters for a total of 120 credits.
Note: No heavy mathematics — the course maintains a practical, applied focus throughout.
Students build a real AI solution.
