The course is ideal for students who are interested in developing and applying problem-solving skills to real world problems, would like to develop their understanding of computing, mathematics and statistical techniques through the practical lens of artificial intelligence (AI). With a balance of solid theory and practical application, this course builds on knowledge in relevant areas of statistics, data analysis, probability and programming.
The over-arching aim of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence course is to produce highly trained graduates with specialist technical knowledge in the mathematical and computational science aspects of applied AI, capable of solving real world problems with understanding of the wider socio-technical implications.
The programme structure will encourage students to become a more effective, independent and confident self-directed learner. This will appeal to employers and aligns with the Future Skills strategy. Supported by a set of guided learning journeys, students will learn theoretical and practical aspects applied computer science and AI, and gradually develop a portfolio of 'products' and 'artefacts' of different levels of complexity as the outputs of assignments in each module. This degree is excellent preparation for a wide variety of careers, such as systems and business analysts, software engineers, programmers and network specialists.
