About Artificial Intelligence - Bsc (hons) in University of Kent
On this degree you learn a combination of solid knowledge of computing technologies and programming skills with an in-depth understanding of the principles and practice of building AI systems. The programme is taught by experts in the area of AI and applied machine learning.
In the first year of the programme your learning is centred on computer science fundamentals and you share modules with students on our successful BSc Computer Science programme. In the second year you study core AI concepts and techniques. In your final year, you select a range of modules allowing you to focus on specific AI techniques and applications of your choice such as neural network, data mining, eHealth and semantic web.
On this degree, the specific focus is on the technical aspects of both computer science and artificial intelligence. You learn to code in several languages, starting with the Java programming language, which is widely used in industry across a range of applications including mobile devices, and Python, one of the most popular languages for scientific computing and data analysis.
Building on these programming skills, you learn the principles and techniques that underpin the algorithms and systems shaping our world today. These include artificial intelligence, computer security, network technology, software engineering, and human-computer interaction. You put these principles and techniques into practice to develop software in a variety of ways, from small-scale exercises to a major software project. There is a particular focus on understanding and building AI systems to solve real-world problems.
You can also gain experience in teaching with our Computing in the Classroom module. This gives you the opportunity to apply your knowledge in a school setting.
