Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science with Industrial Year (GG74)

The Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science BSc with a year in industry will equip students with the skills to solve real-world problems whilst also offering them the chance to gain valuable industry experience which, in an ever-increasingly competitive graduate job market, will set them apart from the rest. At the University of Birmingham, research expertise allows for an unusually rich and innovative programme for undergraduate study which enables students to leave ready for a career path in industry or research. The four-year Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science BSc degree is structured to give students a thorough understanding of the field of computer science whilst providing them with the opportunity to develop a strong theoretical grounding in Artificial Intelligence with many opportunities to put this in to practice during the course and the industrial placement. In the first and second year, students will study a range of compulsory modules which will enable them to gain a solid understanding in the fields of computer science and Artificial Intelligence. Students are encouraged to gain as much real-world experience during their studies, to enable them to shape their ambition and prepare them for their future careers. This is why in the third year, students will undertake a year in industry, which the University of Birmingham will help students to secure with one of the many industrial links. The fourth year enables students to tailor the degree to suit their interests, strengths and future career with a wide range of modules and an individual project. The University of Birmingham knows how competitive the graduate job market can be, that’s why students also learn computer programming in Java – a language widely used in business and industry that will ensure them stand out in future applications. During their time with the University of Birmingham, students will take part in group work which will allow them to develop key skills essential for both a career in industry and research.
