Artificial Intelligence BSc (Hons)

The course gives you a detailed understanding of artificial intelligence concepts and techniques, and the ability to apply this knowledge to a variety of problems and subject areas

You will learn to develop basic hardware and software models and programs. You will also use artificial intelligence code that allows you to accomplish various tasks, including controlling advanced mobile robots in our purpose-built laboratory.

Students who are interested in broadening their academic experience are given the opportunity to spend their placement year in an overseas university. This course offers a direct link with the University of Ulm (Germany).

The university runs a dedicated Robot club as part of the DMU Square Mile project, which works with local secondary schools to give young people a chance to experience degree level robotics at a much earlier age. Students have the opportunity to solidify the skills learnt on their course by instructing the secondary school children on how to construct the robots.

Please note, the title for this degree programme has changed from Intelligent Systems BSc (Hons) to Artificial Intelligence BSc (Hons) with immediate effect.

This title change follows a review of the programme and has been made to better reflect the content on the programme and terminology used within the industry, as well as to ensure that our students are well placed to secure graduate employment.
