Artificial Intelligence Major (M Comp)

This major provides coverage of the key concepts and challenges in artificial intelligence with a focus on machine learning. The aim is to provide a broad coverage of the different approaches to machine learning with an emphasis on the latest methods as well as explainable Artificial Intelligence.

• develop, apply, evaluate and manage solutions for software systems, organisations and large scale data sources using the latest advances in analytics and industry-accepted standards, GC1, GC2, GC4, GC6
• apply and evaluate advanced technical knowledge and its underpinning science and analytical methods in Artificial Intelligence to address real world applications, GC1, GC2, GC6
• communicate effectively to design, apply, manage and evaluate solutions that involve the latest advances in technology, and industry standards and use both written and verbal forms to convey the required knowledge to both experts and non-technical audiences, GC3, GC4, GC5
• develop new IT security solutions through the application of leading edge technology and expert skills and that are underpinned by ethics, sustainability and social responsibility and comply with the IEEE/ACM/ACS standards, GC1, GC2, GC3, GC4, GC6, GC7
• apply the latest technology and devise new approaches to process a wide range of large scale data sources in order to derive new critical knowledge that can be used to address current problems in both Information Technology and related areas, GC1, GC2, GC4, GC6
• demonstrate initiative, leadership and ethical practice when working independently and collaboratively, GC2, GC3, GC4, GC5, GC6
• demonstrate an advanced understanding and application of research methodology by completing a major project in Artificial Intelligence, GC1, GC2, GC3, GC5, GC6
