Course summary

BSc Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence combines a focus on the rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of computer science, including opportunities to specialise in a range of advanced areas of AI and computer science. We review our curriculum constantly to ensure it remains at the leading edge.

Core ideas are introduced in years one and two. You will learn the principles of algorithms and programming, covering three key paradigms: imperative, functional and object-oriented. You will also study the core concepts, tools and methods of artificial intelligence; the mathematics and statistics underpinning modern computer science and artificial intelligence; how a modern computer architecture is organised; and the foundations of human-computer interaction, cybersecurity and theoretical and data-driven computer science.

A key component of year two is the AI software team project in which you work with others to develop an AI application for a real-world client with help from an industrial mentor.

In your final year, you will choose from a range of optional units in order to specialise in selected advanced areas of computer science and AI. You will also undertake an individual AI project with a focus on Artificial Intelligence topics such as machine vision, intelligent agents, logic, and machine learning, co-created with a supervising member of staff, with opportunities to work with industrial or research partners.
