Course Summary

This course develops graduates with a capacity for providing solutions to real-world problems that require the acquisition and representation of information, knowledge and intelligence within computerised processes, which form the basis for intelligent computer systems powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Entrants develop skillsets particular to pattern identification, the modelling of processes or actions associated with those patterns and the utilisation of machine learning techniques that automate this process alongside mainstream computing topics that form a foundation for working with AI. The development of the course is rooted in the knowledge and experience of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (CSAIP) research unit members, their experiences with collaborative projects spanning over twenty years and feedback from past and present students relating to their educational experience and preferences associated with delivery of AI.
