This BCS (British Computer Society)-accredited course will equip students with the highly sought-after computer science, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and research skills to enter this fascinating field of technology.
The Master of Science (Honours) in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence is a computing degree that allows students to specialise in the evolving field of AI, the science of mimicking human intelligence using computers.
Artificial Intelligence is arguably one of the most rapidly growing and exciting fields of technological development of this generation with far-reaching potential to solve present day problems - and to transform the world around us. Loughborough University's Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence degree is a computing degree that allows students to specialise in the exiting field of artificial intelligence (AI), the science of mimicking human intelligence using computers.
The program contains broad coverage of all major computer science topics as well as specialist modules in artificial intelligence, taught by world-leading experts. The department's research constantly feeds into the teaching curriculum meaning students will learn cutting edge techniques of this fascinating topic.
The first two years of the Master of Science Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence degree are identical to those of the Computer Science Bachelor of Science degree and provide sound foundations for the third year when topics such as robotics, intelligent agents, reasoning in uncertain systems, computer vision, neural networks and deep learning are studied to an advanced level via specialised modules as well as a final year project. Other third year options, taught by experts in their respective areas, allow students to study other computing subjects in greater depth and to learn about the latest developments in established and emerging areas in the field.
The Master of Science year provides a broad understanding and study of entrepreneurship, leadership and management, together with a group project to grow students' team working skills. There is also a significant, research-based individual project conducted with a member of academic staff that will develop the skills required for a career in industry research or PhD study.
