Explore AI from its history to philosophy and what it can and can’t do. You'll study machine learning, artificial neural networks, and data analysis and use industry tools including MATLAB and Jason. You'll consider ethics of AI and debate the benefits and challenges posed by AI developments.
This course is enhanced by alignment with certification programmes from major companies including Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Cisco which you can choose to take during your studies.
As you start, you'll get to dive into both core computer science and specialised AI topics. The course starts with the basics like programming (in Python, Java, and C++), algorithms, software engineering, and database management, giving you a solid foundation in computing. You’ll also learn how computers work at a deeper level, studying operating systems and computer architecture.
As you progress, you’ll focus more on AI, starting with an introduction to how AI systems think and solve problems. You’ll study machine learning techniques, like neural networks and decision trees, and teaching computers how to learn from data. Later, you’ll explore deep learning, robotics, and natural language processing (such as voice assistants). Big data and data science also play a key role, teaching you how to handle large datasets and analyse data efficiently.
The degree also covers the math behind AI (probability, statistics, and calculus), and takes a look at the ethical side of AI, like privacy issues and how AI impacts society. In your final year, you’ll work on a major project, where you solve a real-world problem using AI. You may also get the opportunity for a work placement, to gain hands-on industry experience.
Optional modules let you dive into areas like cybersecurity, the Internet of Things (IoT), or user-friendly AI interfaces, depending on your interests.
You will also get opportunities to expand your knowledge both inside and outside of the lecture theatre. Students have previously visited sites of historical importance, including Bletchley Park, to learn more about the history of computing and how it impacted the world.
