From 2026/27, EFI courses are delivered as 20-credit courses rather than 10-credit courses. Continuing students may therefore see some courses listed at 20 credits that were previously offered at 10 credits. The overall requirements of the programme remain unchanged.
In order to be eligible for the Data and Artificial Intelligence Ethics (Fusion Online) (MSc) - Part-Time - 3 Years (ICL), students need to obtain 180 SCQF level 11 credits.

a) 20 credits of programme compulsory courses:
- Data and AI Ethics, Law and Governance
