Artificial Intelligence BSc (Hons)

About

The artificial intelligence sector is rapidly expanding and plays a significant role in various aspects of society, from business operations to daily life. This BCS-accredited course will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of artificial intelligence concepts and techniques, equipping you to address modern challenges such as using microprocessor-based systems to control home appliances and resolving collisions in applied mechanics.

You will develop essential skills, including proficiency in C++, a versatile programming language, alongside gaining in-depth knowledge of computer networks and systems. In our purpose-built laboratory, you will learn to use artificial intelligence code to control advanced mobile robots, fostering hands-on expertise.

Beyond the classroom, you can engage in projects and extracurricular activities directly linked to your studies. Join our dedicated Robot Club, where you can reinforce your skills by teaching secondary school students to build robots or pursue your own robotics project, potentially competing in the international Robot Challenge held annually in Vienna.

You will benefit from teaching by experienced staff at our internationally recognised Institute of Artificial Intelligence, known for its world-leading research in artificial intelligence, computational intelligence, and intelligent systems. Practical and professional skills are honed through work placement opportunities, with past students gaining experience at leading companies like IBM, Microsoft, and PayPoint.

Students feel very positive about the support they receive from our Artificial Intelligence lecturers, with their votes placing us 2nd in UK for academic support (NSS, 2025).
