Course summary

Overview

Gain the skills to design and develop the next generation of Artificial Intelligence (Al) systems and services.

Summary

Increased use of Artificial Intelligence (Al) can bring major social and economic benefits by automating tasks currently done by humans. AI computers can analyse and learn from information at higher accuracy and speed than humans can. It offers massive gains in efficiency and performance to most or all industry sectors, for example in Health, Financial Technology, Advanced Manufacturing, Social Media. Al is software that can be integrated into existing processes, improving them, scaling them, and reducing their costs, by making or suggesting more accurate decisions through better use of information. Artificial Intelligence has also been a main focus of Computer Science research at Ulster University for over 25 years, and we are uniquely positioned to deliver this degree course.

Career options

AI skill sets are in high demand across all sectors, such as finance, consulting, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, government and education. As a graduate in Artificial Intelligence, you will be well placed to progress into a wide variety of careers from large-scale established commercial enterprises to innovative technology start-ups with opportunities in large companies e.g. financial services firms, consumer retail firms, small and medium sized businesses or the public sector.

Work placement / study abroad

All students normally spend one year on industrial placement (Year 3) working in some aspect of the computing/engineering industry for a minimum period of 25 weeks. On satisfactory completion of the placement period, you are eligible for the award of Diploma in Professional Practice (DPP). Students who complete their industrial placement abroad receive the award of Diploma in Professional Practice (International).

Alternatively, students may apply to study abroad in another academic institution for a year. Satisfactory completion leads to the Award of Diploma in International Academic Studies (DIAS).
