Artificial Intelligence is increasingly successful in solving complex and key problems from self-driving cars and medicine to information retrieval and games. Recent advances exploit machine learning techniques where AI systems extract patterns from vast amounts of examples (big data) using large-scale computing infrastructure, such as the cloud. On the BSc Artificial Intelligence you will specialise in this rapidly evolving area of computer science.
On this degree you learn a combination of solid knowledge of computing technologies and programming skills with an in-depth understanding of the principles and practice of building AI systems. The programme is taught by experts in the area of AI and applied machine learning.
In the first year of the programme your learning is centred on computing fundamentals and you share modules with students on our successful BSc Computing and BSc Software Engineering programmes. In the second year you study core AI concepts and techniques. Over half of the students in our school choose to do a Year in Industry after the second year. This gives real work experience, a salary, and often a solid offer of a job after the final year. In your final year, you select a range of modules allowing you to focus on specific AI techniques and applications of your choice such as neural network, data mining, eHealth and semantic web.
