Degree Overview
The artificial intelligence industry is a very fast-growing field and touches so many aspects of society, from business operations to our everyday lives. This degree course will help you gain a detailed understanding of artificial intelligence concepts and techniques and learn to use this knowledge to address contemporary problems and challenges such as the use of microprocessor-based systems to control home appliances and the detection and resolution of collisions in applied mechanics.
Academic specialists and professionals on this program will help you develop fundamental skills, such as learning the powerful general-purpose programming language C++, and experience in-depth study of computer networks and systems. Using artificial intelligence code, you will be introduced and taught how to control advanced mobile robots in our purpose-built laboratory.
The modules of this course have been designed to focus on real-life industry scenarios to enhance your employability. During our Agile Methods and Development module, you will gain experience in producing apps to specifications and learn how to negotiate between business clients and the development team.
Throughout your studies with us you will also be able to enjoy projects and extracurriculars related to your course. Get involved with our dedicated Robot Club, where you will solidify your skills by instructing secondary school children on robotic construction or take the opportunity to develop your own robot project, with the potential to compete in the annual international Robot Challenge in Vienna.
