COURSE CONTENT

Course Details 

This degree in artificial intelligence and data science will equip you with a range of knowledge and practical skills required to establish your career. They can aid many career paths, such as a machine learning software engineer, solution architect, project manager or AI research scientist. You will learn the fundamentals and applications of data science and machine learning progressively over the course period.

Year 1

During your first year of this programme, you will study common computer science modules which give you the foundation and flexibility to specialise in your second and third years. Additionally, you’ll study a specialised module that is tailored for artificial intelligence and data science programme students.

Year 2

In your second year, you will continue your journey with more specialised modules. These include the Introduction to AI, Cloud Computing and Big Data, and Relational Databases along with other computer science modules. You will also complete a group project where you will be a part of a small design team working to produce an innovative and bespoke AI solution to a real-world challenge.

Year 3

In your final year of this artificial intelligence and data science degree, you will acquire comprehensive AI skills in advanced modules. These modules include such as Advanced AI and Applications, Natural Language Processing, Modern Databases, and Media Technology. You’ll be able to develop AI applications using computer vision and neural networks and deploy the solutions in the cloud. You’ll have an opportunity to complete an independent dissertation on a specialist topic of your choice in the field of artificial intelligence.
