On successful completion of the six-month PGP, learners earn a postgraduate certificate with 30 ECTS and become eligible to progress into the accelerated MS in Data Science programme from Birchwood University, subject to the university's admission requirements.

    What makes this pathway distinctive is that the learning does not stop with the PGP. Eligible learners can apply the credits earned through the PGP programme towards the academic credit requirements of the MS in Data Science, enabling them to complete the remaining requirements for the master's qualification. This provides working professionals with an opportunity to first gain a valuable qualification in emerging AI technologies and then build on that foundation to earn an MS in Data Science through an accelerated academic pathway. By recognising the credits earned through the PGP towards the MS programme, learners can pursue both qualifications in just 12 months, compared to the standard 24-month duration. This pathway is designed for professionals who want to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving AI and Data Science landscape while investing in qualifications that deliver immediate practical skills and long-term career value.

  • The Integrated MS + PGP Program in Data Science & AI combines two complementary qualifications: the Post Graduate Program in Generative AI and Agentic AI by Edureka and the Master of Science in Data Science from Birchwood University.

    The program follows a two-phase learning pathway.

    Phase 1: Learners complete a 6-month PGP focused on Generative AI, Agentic AI, LLM applications, Python, AI workflow automation, and practical AI development.

    Phase 2: Learners progress to an accelerated MS in Data Science covering programming, statistical analysis, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, model deployment, and data visualization.

    Credits earned through the PGP are applied towards the academic credit requirements of the MS in Data Science, enabling eligible learners to complete both qualifications within approximately 12 months, compared to the conventional 24-month duration when pursued separately.

    Each qualification is awarded only after successful completion of its respective academic and assessment requirements.

  • We evaluate candidates based on their educational background, professional experience, and readiness to undertake the programme.
