Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence including International Year MSci

About

Course overview

Artificial intelligence is changing our homes, workplaces and lifestyles. Our course lets you explore this subject with optional modules in user experience design, autonomous systems, and machine learning.

You'll take part in a group project in year two which prepares you for creating the computer systems of the future. Many projects are in collaboration with industry. Previous students have worked with Capital One, Experian, IBM and UniDays. All these companies have offices in Nottingham. This project is great for your CV and can help you make contacts ready for when you start your career.

The benefit of this course is the opportunity to spend your third year abroad. You could be studying in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand or Singapore. Read what it's like to study abroad and how it can open new doors for adventures, connections and opportunities.

The final year includes masters-level modules. You have full choice of what you study. You could work on your programming skills or try something new like being a STEM ambassador. You can conduct a substantial research project as a fourth year dissertation.

You may recognise some of our tutors from the Computerphile YouTube series. It is this inspiring teaching that you can expect at Nottingham.
