BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence)

This course provides a core grounding in computer science with a focus on AI. You'll build the same solid foundation in core computer science as our main computer science degree and dive deep into a range of AI topics such as biologically inspired algorithms, machine learning, computer vision and robotics. Join the forefront of humanity's journey into intelligent systems with our three-year Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) BSc. This course provides a strong foundation in computer science, equipping you with the essential skills in software engineering, programming, algorithms, and data structures. This core knowledge will prepare you to delve into the captivating world of AI, where you will explore areas like machine learning, natural language processing and robotics. As well as learning to program and think critically, you're encouraged to work in teams, develop your communication skills and think about the impact of your work in a real-world context. These are essential for a career in industry or research, and demonstrate the well-rounded education our programme will provide you. You will not only graduate with technical skills of a computer scientist, but also a solid team player, effective communicator and system designer. Core modules in years one and two will provide you with the foundations of computer science, while in the final year a range of optional modules will allow you to tailor your studies to your own interests. On top of these specialised modules, the focus of your final year is a dissertation project, where you will have scope for creative and intellectual exploration through a year long individual project guided by one of lecturers. Whether you're drawn to the complexities of speech recognition or intrigued by the applications of robotics, you can specialise in different themes of AI. This course is accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS). It fully meets the requirements for Chartered Information Technology Professional (CITP) and partially meets the requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng).
