University of Bath

Become an innovative computing professional, specialising in AI. Gain the experience you need for a career in technology.This course will give you the skills and knowledge to apply the latest Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies and methods to a wide range of problems. You’ll gain a solid foundation in computer science with a focus on AI, and will study topics such as machine learning, algorithms and complexity, and visual computing. This course is for you if you’re keen to learn about current AI technologies and would like to specialise in this field from the start of your degree, whilst still gaining a grounding in broader computer science.In the first year, you’ll learn the basics of computer science, including mathematics and programming skills, along with an introduction to the theory and practice of AI. In the second year, you’ll continue to develop your AI skills, with a focus on machine learning. In the final year, you’ll choose optional units alongside an individual project that will allow you to specialise in a specific area of AI. You can specialise in areas such as robotics, natural language processing, intelligent agents, and computer vision. You’ll regularly meet with an academic who’s an expert in your chosen field.You will have the option to switch to our BSc/MComp Computer Science course after the first year, if you develop interests in other areas of computer science.The Master of Computing (MComp) course provides you with the same core skills and knowledge as the BSc but with a greater exposure to and integration with research groups in the Department. You’ll study master's-level units and carry out a major research project, giving you ideal preparation for postgraduate study or a career in research.
