Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the world. If you can see your future self working in this area, this course aims to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to help drive the ongoing digital revolution.

You will take specialist modules in arguably two of the most important emerging topics of computer science: artificial intelligence and security. These are supplemented by an individual project in Artificial Intelligence, under the supervision of an academic member of staff. 

• Master the practical skills and theoretical knowledge you need to develop AI-enhanced software solutions which address demanding user expectations and complex customer requirements.
• Explore the areas of artificial intelligence and security and learn how they continue to drive major changes in the domain of computer science.
• Learn the technical skills needed for a career in the computing industry. Upon successful completion, you may consider roles related to AI including AI expert, machine learning modeller, data scientist, human factor designer, Internet of Things programmer, or developer of autonomous cars.

You will benefit from:

• opportunities to participate in field trips² and Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) projects, allowing you to interact online with students from other universities abroad.
• extracurricular activities in the Computer Science Club (subject to availability) that enables you, with support of academics, to acquire knowledge and skills in learning up-to-date technologies.
• novel and engaging learning approaches that places you at the centre of your learning, such as flipped classroom, interactive e-learning technology and research-inspired teaching.
• guest speakers from industry professionals (subject to availability) to discuss their experience and offer advice on employability.
• access to facilities in the modern Engineering, Environment and Computing and Beatrice Shilling buildings⁴.
• Culturae Mundi and Linguae Mundi services which run events and courses to celebrate the multiculturalism and multilingualism present on campus.

Careers and opportunities

On successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

• demonstrate knowledge, understanding and critical analyse of key areas of artificial intelligence and security 
• demonstrate the ability to identify, define and critically evaluate problems/scenarios, design and/or develop complex and secure systems solutions using appropriately justified tools and approaches
• critically apply the essential concepts, principles, and practices of the subject to less well-defined scenarios
• demonstrate professional skills, the ability to communicate technical information to non-technical audiences, document each stage of a project, plan, manage and organise your work both as an individual and as a team member and with minimum guidance 
• demonstrate the ability to contribute to AI projects by applying appropriate professional practices of criticality, innovation, creativity, economics, legal, social, ethical, environmental, sustainability, health and safety, entrepreneurial and commercial considerations.
• identify mechanisms to critical evaluate and review both your own work and others, and opportunities for continuing professional development and lifelong learning. 

Successful graduates of this course should be in an excellent position to respond to future changes in the computing job market by having the skills and knowledge to gain AI jobs that do not exist yet or are just emerging. The transferable skills learned on this course could also equip you for a wide range of other careers.
