BSc Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence
About this course
Computer science with artificial intelligence combines the foundational principles of computing with a focused study of the theories and techniques that make machines intelligent. Artificial intelligence is one of the most rapidly developing fields in all of science and technology, encompassing machine learning, neural networks, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics, and the algorithms that allow computers to recognise patterns, make predictions, and solve complex problems. Studying computer science alongside AI gives you both the technical infrastructure needed to build software systems and the specialist knowledge to design, implement, and evaluate intelligent systems. At the University of Brighton, this three-year full-time programme equips you with strong foundations in programming, data structures, algorithms, software engineering, and computer systems, alongside dedicated study of artificial intelligence methods and their applications. You will learn to design and implement machine learning models, work with real datasets, and apply AI techniques to problems in areas such as image recognition, natural language understanding, and autonomous systems. The degree includes a sandwich placement year and a work placement, giving you extended experience in a professional computing environment where you can apply your skills in a real setting. These periods of practical experience are particularly valuable in a field that changes as quickly as AI and software development, where employers place significant weight on demonstrated ability to work with current tools and technologies. Graduates from this programme go on to careers in software development, data science, machine learning engineering, AI research, robotics, cybersecurity, systems engineering, and technology consulting across a wide range of industries. The combination of a solid computer science foundation and specialised AI knowledge positions graduates well for roles that are at the forefront of technological change. Some graduates choose to continue into postgraduate study in artificial intelligence, data science, or computer science, while others move directly into industry roles where the demand for AI expertise continues to grow rapidly across almost every sector of the economy.
