Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence
What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is concerned with the development of computational systems that are intelligent. Such systems may be intelligent in the sense that they think and act in a rational way, that is, they reach the right conclusion and choose the right action. Or they may be intelligent in the sense that they think and act like us, with all our strentghs and human weaknesses. The AI challenge includes the ability to perceive, learn, store information, reason about what is known, communicate using human language, and interact with the physical environment, e.g., move objects.

What can you expect to get out of our AI programmes?
A fundamental objective of the Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence degree is to provide students with a sound theoretical knowledge and practical experience of the skills essential in the general area of Computer Science and its engineering applications. In addition, the students will receive an introduction to the essentials of AI in their second year. The options in Years 3 and 4 will give the students knowledge of four main AI themes:
- Natural Language Processing
- Machine Learning and Automated Reasoning
- Intelligent Agents
- Pattern Recognition and Computer Vision
It is expected that the graduates will have solid knowledge of one or more of these areas, which are taught by internationally recognised academic experts. The independent fourth-year project will give students an additional opportunity to gain an in-depth knowledge in an AI-related area that is of interest to them.
