Artificial Intelligence

The overall aim of the course is to provide a broadly-based education in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its related technologies which will produce graduates equipped with the knowledge and skills to select and apply appropriate AI techniques to a particular domain.

In support of this, the course has the following aims:

• To provide a systematic study of the theory and principles of AI, which includes fundamental theoretical computer science, mathematics, programming and software engineering. • To develop competence in the use of programming languages for the production of AI and Machine Learning software components. • To develop an ability to analyse problems, reason a solution, and represent the knowledge using suitable AI methods and computational techniques. • To provide opportunities for the development of practical and team-based skills in applying AI in an industrial context. • To develop key skills and enterprise competencies to support the student's progression into a career in the AI industry or further academic study.
