Artificial Intelligence — Advanced

5 cohorts available for this programme.
Why this matters now
Built for our 15–18 Seniors. This Advanced edition moves fast and goes deep, pushing students toward university-level thinking and a portfolio-grade final outcome.
Artificial intelligence is reshaping every field — but understanding it, rather than fearing it, is a skill. This programme takes students from first principles of machine learning to building and fine-tuning their own small model, with a serious look at ethics and bias.
Students finish with a published AI mini-project on GitHub and a vocabulary that lets them lead conversations most adults are only beginning to have.
A seven-day rhythm.
Each residential week follows a clear daily pattern — focused mornings of teaching, hands-on afternoons in the lab or studio, and evenings split between university masterclasses and cultural London.
- ✦Mornings — subject teaching & specialist modules
- ✦Afternoons — hands-on workshops & project labs
- ✦Evenings — UCAS masterclasses & cultural activities
