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

Artificial intelligence is transforming homes, workplaces, and lifestyles. This course offers an in-depth exploration of the field, featuring optional modules on intelligent agents, autonomous systems, machine learning, and human-AI interaction. In the second year, students engage in a collaborative group project with industry partners such as Capital One, Experian, IBM, and UniDays, all based in Nottingham. This experience enhances CVs and builds professional networks, while an industry placement year allows application of knowledge to real-world projects, potentially leading to paid positions and job offers.The programme begins with foundational modules in AI, including search techniques, data mining, ethics, and programming languages like C, Java, and Haskell. The second year advances to topics such as AI algorithms and efficiency, with optional subjects like human-computer interaction. Year three involves a placement in AI-related fields to boost employability, and year four provides flexibility through research-linked modules tailored to individual interests. Accredited by the British Computer Society, the course offers opportunities for study abroad, scholarships, and no prior programming experience required, with graduates averaging £32,104 in salary.
