    AI and Robotics BSc (Hons)

    About

    Studying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics enables you to experience a comprehensive degree in the multi-discipline areas of Computing, Software, Robotics, Autonomous Vehicles (Automotive) and 3D games design.

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is happening all around us and on a large scale. Companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Facebook are hard at work building world-class AI teams that infiltrate every aspect of their products. AI is applied everywhere from mobile phone apps to self-driving cars, and when combined with robotics, forms a vital part of our future. It even forms a major part of UK Government planning.

    This course is designed to help you to develop your knowledge and skills in key AI and robotics areas such as machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), robotic design and robotic programming.

    Youâll start by studying modern software languages such as Java and Python using IDEs including NetBeans, PyCharm, and Visual Studio Code. You will also study computer hardware with electronics and mechanics to give you a solid start to your future career. Youâll then extend your skills in areas such as 3D robotic design, programming micro-controllers in C, applying different machine learning techniques, developing AI algorithms, C++ and even the ethics of living in a robotic society.

    Finally, youâll complete a dissertation and professionally designed modules such as: robotic vision, data analytics, artistic synthetic face/eye creation, Windows programming in C++, which will enable you to enter the world of employment with a diverse range of skills and expertise.

    We have a close relationship with companies including Amazon Azure and AWS who have the leading edge in AI technologies and services. This makes it possible for you to learn how to program, develop, test and report your AI and robotics artefact to meet the needs and make-up of society. Throughout our course you will also have an opportunity to be certified in AWS and Microsoft Azure, to help you to build and validate your understanding of technologies that businesses use.

    In a typical 3 year, full-time course you'll complete a variety of modules that will give you an expert knowledge of AI and Robotics, as well as transferable skills in Computing Science, making you employable with both fields.  

    Our first year will help you get an all-round knowledge in the field, including aspects of software development and robotic design.  You even design, build and race your own robotic vehicles with the ‘Robot Worlds module. 

    The second year will build on the foundations of the first year, aiming to give you a more complex understanding of robotic software programming and interfacing, 3D Game modelling with kinematics, commercial computing and the implementation of Ethical Robotics in an AI world. 

    In your final year you will specialise in expert-level modules, covering robotic vision programming and synthetic drone modelling with skin design. In addition youll create an industrial standard project, negotiated between yourself and your course leader, that incorporates the specialist knowledge you have attained during the course.  

    If you were to join the course through our Foundation Year you would study ‘How to study, Concepts of physics, Practical mathematics and other topics in key areas of AI and Robotics to fully prepare for a successful start of the degree.

    Assessment

    This course is mainly assessed via coursework, but does include a small number of exams. We have carefully designed assessments in order we use the best methods available to assess the integrated approach to theory and practice that youll engage in within the Computer Science discipline. Your coursework, carried out in response to assignments, project briefs or self-initiated proposals, will be presented in forms appropriate to that in the workplace, and will require you to work both individually and in teams in generating computing solutions to set problems. To back up your work you will also write reports and deliver presentations.  Formative assessment is carried out in tutorial and practical sessions and feedback is usually provided to you orally.

    Learning support

    In addition to the excellent support you will receive from your course teaching team, our central Academic Skills team provides group and one-to-one help to support your learning in a number of areas. These include study skills (including reading, note-taking and presentation skills); written English (including punctuation and grammatical accuracy); academic writing (including how to reference); research skills; critical thinking and understanding arguments; and revision, assessment and examination skills (including time management).

    Additional support

    Our Student Inclusion Services support students with additional needs such as sensory impairment, or learning difficulties such as dyslexia.

    Feedback

    Your course will provide you with opportunities to test your understanding of your subject informally (through formative feedback) before you complete the formal assessments. Each module normally includes practice or 'formative' assessments for which you receive feedback from your tutor. Practice assessments are developmental and any grades you receive for them do not count towards your module mark, but are essential for you to develop academically as a student. There is a formal or 'summative' assessment at the end of each module and the grades from formal assessments count towards your module mark. You will normally receive feedback on coursework assessments within 20 working days following the date of submission. The feedback you receive will help to focus you to achieve better grades on the next set of modules you study.
