Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, BSc (Hons), with industry placement

This BCS (British Computer Society)-accredited course will equip you with highly sought-after computer science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) skills, enabling you to immerse yourself in the fascinating arena of machine intelligence.Artificial Intelligence is arguably one of the most rapidly growing and exciting fields of technological development of our generation with far-reaching potential to solve present day problems - and to transform the world around us. AI has applications in healthcare, the retail industry, smart devices, manufacturing, security, information management, gaming - almost any area you can think of!Our BSc Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence degree is a computing degree that allows students to specialise in the evolving field of AI, the science of mimicking human intelligence using computers.Based in Loughborough's Department of Computer Science, BSc Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence contains broad coverage of all major computer science topics as well as specialist modules in artificial intelligence, taught by world-leading experts. Our research constantly feeds into our teaching curriculum meaning you will learn cutting edge techniques of this fascinating topic.The first two years of the course are identical to those of our Computer Science BSc degree and provide sound foundations for the third year when topics such as robotics, intelligent agents, reasoning in uncertain systems, computer vision, neural networks and deep learning are studied to an advanced level via specialised modules as well as a final year project. Other third year options, taught by experts in their respective areas, allow you to study other computing subjects in greater depth and to learn about the latest developments in established and emerging areas in the field.Throughout your studies you will benefit from the high-quality resources in the department, including the use of five well-stocked general computing laboratories and specialist lab facilities for work on robotics, networking, HCI and imaging technology.
