Course summary

Can computers think like humans? Ask the big questions and demystify the computer science behind artificial intelligence (AI) as you learn to create the systems, games and applications of the future.

Computers can see us, talk to us, and increasingly make decisions like us. On this course, you’ll explore how intelligence works and use that knowledge to design programmes and systems that make life better.

This is a fast-moving speciality built around a set of core skills. You will develop a strong foundation in computer science and AI by studying programming, mathematics, autonomous secure systems, intelligent systems, and data analytics.

Artificial intelligence meshes together different computing techniques to create new solutions. We teach you to create AI tools and rate their success. You’ll also work in robotics as you start to picture where you can take AI next.

Robotics and automated systems that utilise artificial intelligence help with medical diagnostics, gaming, and manufacturing. AI is in your home and school. Soon it will help every part of society. Our degree in computer science and artificial intelligence gives you the expertise to work in this exciting profession.

Modules

Assessment method

You will be assessed through a combination of practical exercises, reports, essays, presentations and examinations. We want you to develop the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team, therefore assessment includes both of these forms, though the emphasis is strongly on individual work.
