BSc (Hons) Computer Science Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence, the science of simulating human intelligence using computers, is one of the fastest growing fields of technological development. It involves studying the principles and mechanisms underlying intelligent human processes and attempting to apply this knowledge to the design of computer-based systems. Placing you at the heart of cutting-edge technology, this degree immerses you in artificial intelligence and the related aspects of computer science. You will acquire key skills and practical experience in the core disciplines of programming, mathematics, autonomous smart systems and data analytics. Developing and evaluating tools and techniques for real-world applications and solutions, you will be immersed in rapidly evolving computing and sensing technologies, such as robotics, and obtain the professional abilities needed to operate with confidence in a challenging multi-disciplinary environment.

Entry Requirements

Typical offer 112-120 UCAS Tariff points, for which no specific subjects are required, plus GCSE Mathematics at Grade C or Grade 4 or above (or equivalent).

Please note, for all programmes in the Department of Computer Science, a level 2 numeracy qualification is not considered as equivalent to GCSE Grade C or Grade 4 in Mathematics.

Example Offers

Some examples of how you can achieve 112-120 UCAS Tariff points are as follows:
