Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) - BSc (Hons)
University of KentCanterbury, United Kingdom
Course overview
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly successful in solving complex and key problems from self-driving cars and medicine to information retrieval and gaming. Recent advances exploit machine learning techniques where AI systems extract patterns from vast amounts of examples (big data) using large-scale computing infrastructure, such as the cloud. On the BSc Artificial Intelligence you'll specialise in this rapidly evolving area of computer science.
We're accredited by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT on behalf of the Engineering Council.
