Course summary

Artificial Intelligence is transforming work, health, entertainment and many other aspects of our lives. This course provides a broad range of technology, software and computing skills and real-world experience in Artificial Intelligence.

There is no doubt that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will have an enormous impact on our lives over the next five, ten or even fifty years. But how will we go from AI being an existing technology that is being used in some areas, to fulfilling its full potential to transform our lives for the better? This will be achieved by people who can:

  • Develop more powerful AI technologies and techniques.

  • Integrate AI into tools and technologies .

  • Make AI accessible to people from every culture, country and educational background.

  • Ensure that AI is used in a safe and ethical way to benefit us all.

Our course in Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence will provide you with the necessary skills, experience and passion to do any of these things, depending on your interests and career plans.

Learning how to use AI, or understanding how AI works is just the beginning. On this course you will learn how to understand the needs of users and design systems to meet these needs. You’ll learn to develop enterprise-scale systems to bring the power of technology and AI to the widest range of people. You’ll be taught by world-leading experts in AI who are, today, building AI systems that solve real-world problems.

This course will not only prepare you to work in AI and Data Science, it will also equip you with a broad range of transferable skills and exceptional experience in software development, computing, user interfaces and cloud computing, which will allow you to succeed in any industry.
