BSc (Hons) Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence)

This course is about biologically inspired algorithms, their relationship to living biological intelligence and the nature of consciousness itself. Some modules overlap with the main Computer Science degree, so you get the same solid grounding in the fundamentals. You'll get the chance to specialise in speech recognition, language processing or robotics.
Computer science with AI is the study of machine intelligence, including bio-inspired algorithms, their relationship to living intelligence and the nature of consciousness itself.

Position yourself at the leading edge of humanity's exploration of what it means to be alive, and the creation of artificial intelligence.

The first year of this degree gives you a grounding in the fundamentals. In your second year you'll experience the processes of engineering a real software system for a real client in a competitive environment.

The main focus of your final year is a dissertation project, where youll enjoy scope for creative and intellectual exploration. Optional modules such as Modelling and Simulation of Natural Systems, Cognitive and Biomimetic Robotics and Bioinspired computing give you the scope to tailor your degree to your interests.

You'll not only graduate with technical skills of a computer scientist, but also a solid team player, effective communicator and system designer.
