Part-Time Study Routes That Lead to Machine Learning Jobs: Evening Courses, Bootcamps & Online Masters

Machine learning—a subset of artificial intelligence—enables computers to learn from data and improve over time without explicit programming.

This comprehensive guide examines each route: foundational CPD units, immersive bootcamps, accredited online MSc programmes, funding options, planning strategies and a real-world case study. Whether you’re a software developer branching into ML, a statistician aiming to upskill, or a professional exploring AI-driven innovation, you’ll discover how to build in-demand ML expertise on your own schedule.
