Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science of mimicking human intelligence inside a computer. The Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence degree course is a computing degree that allows students to specialise in AI through their project work and a number of specialist AI modules. The first two years of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence course are identical to those of the Computer Science course. This provides sound foundations for the third year of this fascinating and constantly evolving course when topics such as robotics, intelligent agents, reasoning in uncertain systems, image processing and neural networks are studied to an advanced level. Other third year options allow staff to teach to their own particular interests, which enables students to learn about the latest developments in established and emerging areas in the field.
