Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) MCompu (H)

Our four year degrees are a one year extension to our BSc degrees which allows further specialisation. In your fourth year you will develop research and analytical skills. You will have the opportunity to contribute to a publication of your research findings and will also take part in a conference style presentation where you present your work.<br/><br/>**Computer science with AI is the study of machine intelligence, including bio-inspired algorithms, their relationship to living intelligence and the nature of consciousness itself.**<br/><br/>Position yourself at the leading edge of humanity’s exploration of what it means to be alive, and the creation of artificial intelligence.<br/><br/>Beginning with the same foundation as our Computer Science MComp, the degree gives you a grounding in the fundamentals, before encouraging you to specialise in speech recognition, language processing or robotics.<br/><br/>Develop AI applications in a team project for an external client in your second year, in your third year specialist modules which cover subjects such as speech and text processing, machine learning and bio-inspired robotics give you scope for creative and intellectual exploration.<br/><br/>In your final year youll continue with this specialised AI theme, youll get the chance to work alongside our research staff as part of a group research project. And you’ll have the option to participate in Genesys Solutions – our student-led software development organisation – throughout your final year, solving customer’s problems, using agile software engineering and lean startup practice.<br/><br/>Youll not only graduate with technical skills of a computer scientist, but also a solid team player, effective communicator and system designer.<br/><br/>**Why study this course?**<br/>- **Research collaboration** - our Darwin module lets you engage in a substantial piece of group research, culminating with the possible production of a paper, as well as a final conference-style presentation.<br/><br/><br/>- **Professional skills and group work** - professional, communication and presentation skills help to create more employable computer scientists and software engineers.<br/><br/><br/>- **Specialist teaching facilities** - youll have access to the latest hardware, software and operating systems, plus high-spec graphics computers and a robotics arena in our dedicated computer labs in The Diamond.<br/><br/><br/>- **Support throughout your degree** - our dedicated student welfare advisor is available to provide support, for example, if you are feeling down, overwhelmed or struggling to adjust to student life.<br/>
