The Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence (AI) course aims to equip you with all the knowledge and skills you need to become an AI specialist in the computing industry.

 

You will:

• Explore artificial intelligence and its relationship to machine learning, parallel programming, and data science, and learn how these areas drive innovation and change in the domain of computer science.
• Master the practical skills and theoretical knowledge to develop software solutions that address demanding user expectations and complex customer requirements.
• Gain industry-relevant experience2 as you apply real-world, software development practices within teams of your peers, preparing you for your AI specialist career after graduation.
• The January start for this course is condensed in Year 1. Please see the ‘How you’ll learn’ section below for more details.

 

Why you should study this course

• Activity-led learning helps you consolidate what you are taught through practical application of everything covered in lectures.
• Opportunity to spend a year on industrial placement2.
• Strong, professional skills focus.
• Hybrid, online, and asynchronous learning to support students with different needs across a range of locations.
• Free-to-attend guest lecturers from current practitioners2, which, in previous years, have included senior professors from Sheffield, Lincoln and Birmingham universities and the European Bioinformatics Centre Cambridge (subject to availability).
• If you choose to start this course in January you will study exactly the same course but over a slightly shorter timescale in Year 1. This is ideal if you missed the September start, want to transfer from a different university or course or just need a bit more time to prepare for life at university.
