Exciting advances in computer science and artificial intelligence are transforming society, from neural networks and new medical diagnostic tools to self‑driving cars. Studying Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence at Keele will give you the opportunity to explore technologies and solutions for a rapidly changing digital economy.
Initial modules will provide the mathematical foundations essential for AI, while introducing the principles, structures and algorithms that underpin modern intelligent systems. Building core programming skills in Python and expertise in web technologies, databases and computer hardware, you will develop a human-centred approach to software development.
As you progress, advanced study in AI will build your practical expertise in data science, machine learning, data ethics and governance. Focusing on modern techniques such as deep learning and generative AI applied to text analysis, computer vision and pattern recognition, you'll also gain a robust understanding of both legal and ethical challenges and the potential impact of AI on society.
In your final year, you will complete an independent AI project with the option to collaborate with industry. This is your chance to put your skills into practice, develop innovative solutions and showcase what you can do.
