• Develop graduates who have the skills and habits of thinking that allow for life-long learning.

• Develop graduates who are equipped to make an contribution to the discipline either through research for practice. 

• Develop graduates who recognise their ethical and professional responsibilities.

Outcomes of the Programmes

On the successful completion of this programme participants will be able to have:

Knowledge and Understanding of 

• Apply Artificial Intelligence concepts and techniques to offer innovative solutions to problems or to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of existing systems 

• Be able to use their technical knowledge and skills to contribute to and deliver innovation through independent, self-driven evidence-based enquiry.

• Be able to recognise security threats and their implications,  plan actions and  design  systems  to manage them

• Be competent software developers, with excellent problem solving skills and the ability to adapt to different development environments

• Be able to make a significant contribution as a member of a team in the development of computer based systems,  offering solutions in a range of application areas.

• Be equipped to understand and respond to the changing needs of industry and society.

This programme provides a flexible, employer-facing education in Computer Science. Through modern teaching methods the programme supports students to use complex algorithms, implement software on state-of-the-art platforms and explore big data. Suitably designed and selected modules offer students the opportunity to specialise their knowledge. All our graduates will leave with familiarity of the basic tools and concepts of modern AI. Some of our graduates will have taken the opportunity to leave with advanced skills in AI and Data Analytics ready to meet the worldwide skills shortage in this area, while others might explore the evolving world of Smart Devices; making this programme valuable for the home and the overseas educational market.
