Subject

Artificial intelligence

**Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the way we live and work.**

From self-driving cars to medical diagnosis, AI and machine learning systems are helping people make better decisions, improve safety and even reduce our carbon footprint. Techniques like deep learning and the integration of big data are increasingly giving computers the ability to operate and make sensible decisions in our messy, unstructured world.

Our AI-focussed programme will give you a solid grounding in Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science and equip you with the knowledge and skills you’ll need to be part of the AI future.

Learn advanced Python programming skills and develop your own software using industry standard techniques and tools. Learn about essential areas such as databases and networks, operating systems and the cloud. Gain specialist knowledge and experience in the development of intelligent systems, including machine learning, algorithms and complexity and visual computing.

And we don’t just focus on the technology - you’ll also study the increasing impact of AI on everyone in society.

Our degree is designed with your future career in mind. In your first year, you’ll take a module on professional development, while in your final year there is the chance to develop your own project, which you can show to employers when you apply for jobs.

There is also the option to spend a year in industry on a guaranteed paid placement. Taken between the second and third years, this forms a recognised part of your degree. (Foundation year students would need to transfer to a BSc or MEng programme to take this option).

When you join us, you’ll get access to the latest industry-standard facilities, including high-performance workstations, gigabit networking, swarm and humanoid robots, VR headsets, a 3D immersive cube, motion capture, AR and MR. We are ranked sixth in the UK for learning resources in Computer Science. And it’s all here on our single-site campus for you to use.

Our courses are shaped by our world-leading research in areas such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, intelligent and interactive systems, robotics, simulation, visualisation, and mobile and distributed computing.

When you are not studying there are plenty of extra-curricular activities for you to get involved in, such as student societies, hackathons and networking events with employers.

Artificial intelligence is a very specialist subject taken by less than 100 people a year at the moment, so there is little reliable information available on graduate prospects - bear that in mind when you review the stats above. Graduates taking this type of subject are more likely than other computing graduates to go into further research. However, if you want to find out more specifically about the potential graduate outcomes of a specific course, it's a good idea to go on open days and talk to tutors about what previous graduates have gone on to do.

What about your long term prospects?

Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.

This information is from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), for undergraduate students only.

You can use this to get an idea of who you might share a lecture with and how they progressed in this subject, here. It's also worth comparing typical A-level subjects and grades students achieved with the current course entry requirements; similarities or differences here could indicate how flexible (or not) a university might be.

Post-six month graduation stats:

This is from the Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education Survey, based on responses from graduates who studied the same subject area here.

It offers a snapshot of what grads went on to do six months later, what they were earning on average, and whether they felt their degree helped them obtain a 'graduate role'. We calculate a mean rating to indicate if this is high, medium or low compared to other universities.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.

While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
