Can I Swap Optional Modules Across MSc AI Courses at Imperial?

I’ve got an offer for the Artificial Intelligence Applications and Innovation MSc program (starting Sept 2025). Currently considering it (if anyone’s attending or also considering it, please DM me!).

I noticed that some of the optional modules in the Artificial Intelligence MSc or the Computing (AI & ML) MSc seem more relevant to my interests. Has anyone successfully swapped optional modules across MSc programs?

Is it even possible to take modules from a different AI-related MSc at Imperial?

Who should I reach out to? Course coordinator? Department admin?

If a swap isn't possible, is it possible to accept the offer and then ask for a course transfer?



Would love to hear if anyone has experience with this!

Why not opt for the other MSc instead?

ICL may have very strict rules on modules, but you may ask their dept admin now. Don't wait until course start.

ICL is very competitive. If you want a course swap, do it now. They probably won't entertain after course starts.

I really like the overall innovation aspect of this course, so I don’t want to switch entirely - just considering swapping 2 modules to make it a tiny bit more technical, especially with some financial/quant content that’s available in both the Computing and regular AI MScs.

Good point about asking early! I’ll check with the department admin now rather than waiting. Appreciate the advice.

HI~ Have you got the answer for the course transfer?
