Artificial Intelligence Solutions and Applications
Pearson BTEC Level 5 Higher National Diploma in Digital Technologies (Artificial Intelligence (AI) Solutions and Applications). The award comes from Pearson in the UK, not from TIIB.
Applied AI rather than AI theory, so you build the models instead of deriving them. You train them on real data, deploy them somewhere they have to keep working, and study what goes wrong when nobody checks for bias. Year two covers deep learning, natural language processing and computer vision.

The internship is guaranteed, and it starts four months in
Not at the end, and not something you have to go and find. It pays up to AED 1,000 a month, based on performance, and hours are capped at 20 a week, which is what a student visa allows.
What it costs
Examination fees are included.
Standard fee. Instalment plans are agreed with your offer. Registration is a one-off AED 1,000, and the application fee is AED 100, which admissions invoices after you apply. Visa costs are separate and are set out on the student visa page.
A Level 5 HND is 240 credits
Direct entry into the final year of a UK bachelor's degree in artificial intelligence, computer science or data science.
Those credits are the first two years of a UK bachelor's degree, which is why the last year is one year and not three.
Why here
An approved Pearson centre
The centre is approved to deliver and assess the award in Dubai Knowledge Park, and Pearson audits that.
35+ founders teach here
People who run companies now, in the room, not teachers who ran one years ago.
22+ companies take our students
That is what makes an internship a promise rather than a hope.

Still deciding between two of these?
That is normal, and it is a ten-minute conversation rather than a research project. Admissions replies within one working day.
