BSc (Hons) Artificial Intelligence & Robotics

The idea that we can combine robotic systems with artificial intelligence to produce a new generation of machinery is no longer the stuff of science fiction – it’s science reality. This cutting-edge course puts you at the heart of one of today’s most innovative fields, with a focus on developing your hands-on skills right from the start. Through understanding of theory, a practice-based approach and real-life work projects, you gain a solid conceptual grounding, to-the-minute specialist knowledge and advanced technical skills.

This course emphasizes the application of AI technologies and methodologies to modern robots that require a certain level of intelligence and the abilities to adapt themselves to environments. It is designed to develop your academic and vocational skills to pursue academic and professional careers in industry and in academia. Completing graduates are expected to be able to:

Be creative and judgmental
Acquire knowledge and understanding of Robots and AI
Apply such knowledge to analyze problems encountered and to develop and to evaluate possible robotic solutions
Formulate correct procedure of problem solving
Communicate findings to peers.

The journey of developing such abilities complies with a self-reflective professional development procedure starting from identifying career goals and the gap between the goal and the current levels of knowledge, skills and capabilities for the students. Course units are designed to gradually fill in the gap from fundamental computational concepts and skills in Year One, specialist concepts, technologies and methodologies in AI and robotics in Year Two, to more independent and creative skills of analysis, modelling, and solution synthesis and evaluation in Year Three.
