Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence BSc (Hons)

Computers can see us, talk to us, and increasingly make decisions like us. On this course, you’ll explore how intelligence works and use that knowledge to design programmes and systems that make life better.

This is a fast-moving speciality built around a set of core skills. You will develop a strong foundation in computer science and AI by studying programming, mathematics, autonomous secure systems, intelligent systems, and data analytics.

Artificial intelligence meshes together different computing techniques to create new solutions. We teach you to create AI tools and rate their success. You’ll also work in robotics as you start to picture where you can take AI next.

Robotics and automated systems that utilise artificial intelligence help with medical diagnostics, gaming, and manufacturing. AI is in your home and school. Soon it will help every part of society. Our degree in computer science and artificial intelligence gives you the expertise to work in this exciting profession.

Through expert teaching, collaborative learning, and flexible resources, we have designed this course to help everyone succeed. You’ll study in the university’s £13 million Tech Hub, equipped with modern and accessible computing labs that support a variety of technologies including virtual reality, robotics, and high-performance computing. Whether you are new to programming or already have experience, you’ll develop practical skills from the very beginning.

Develop essential skills needed for high-demand roles in artificial intelligence, data science, and intelligent systems. Study programming, machine learning, robotics, and data analysis in a welcoming and inclusive environment that supports everyone. With the option to study abroad or a paid placement year, you’ll get the chance to apply these skills and gain valuable real-world experience for careers in healthcare analytics, financial technology, automation, and smart systems.
