Artificial intelligence (AI) is a discipline in which computers and other devices are designed and developed to display intelligent characteristics. This course adds a specialism in AI to a broad base in technology and software development. Particularly in the first two years, you’ll find an emphasis on software development, professional programming, the modelling and design of systems and data, the principles of networking and the user experience. These give you the core skills to specialise in AI, where you can study the analysis, design and construction of knowledge-based and expert systems, artificial life and robotics, and systems based around the use of neural networks.

Course programme
You will study the analysis, design and construction of knowledge-based and expert systems, Artificial Life and robotics, as well as systems based around the use of neural networks. This course draws on the expertise of the School’s internationally acclaimed AI research staff. In your first two years you will concentrate on building a broad integrated foundation, with your specialism in AI building on this foundation.
First Year
You will learn the foundations of the subject including topics such as an overview of the field, programming, modelling, and computing platforms.
Second Year
You will deepen your understanding and develop more advanced skills. There are technical modules on software development, programming, databases, operating systems and networks, plus two options in AI and robotics.
Third year
You have the option of taking a one-year paid work placement, or you can study abroad at one of our partner universities worldwide.
Final Year (3rd or 4th)
You will be offered core modules on computer security and project planning, specialist modules in Constructive AI and Robotics, plus two options, which can also be in other aspects of AI. Finally you will undertake an individual project in your chosen specialism, typically an extensive piece of practical work.
You have the opportunity to undertake a professional placement for your third year. We encourage you to take advantage since on average placement students have a greater chance of finding good employment after graduation and achieve higher grades in their final year.
Work placements are spent in a paid job relevant to your degree. You apply in the second year, with support from the University using our extensive contacts with employers.
