About this course
Intelligent systems are having a huge impact. Household appliances are more helpful and robots are venturing into space. Help create the future of AI on a robotics degree awarded initial accreditation by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT (subject to re-approval).
Robotics and AI have come a long way since the work of Alan Turing. They pave the way for extraordinary opportunities in the modern world. As we develop increasingly sophisticated artificial systems, we’ll see transformations in how we live, work, travel and learn. After graduating with our BSc (Hons) Robotics & Artificial Intelligence degree you could be working on the newest emerging technologies in a vast range of industries.
During our robotics and artificial intelligence degree, we’ll teach you how to unleash the potential of robotics, AI, automation and more. Could you make a difference to the way virtual reality is used in medicine? Do you want to test the boundaries between human intelligence and machine intelligence?
On our robotics and AI degree, you’ll develop specialist expertise in the fundamentals of intelligent systems. Programming, network architecture and software design will all become second nature to you.
After graduation with your BSc (Hons) degree, you’ll be prepared for a career working with intelligent systems ranging from domestic appliances and search engines to robots exploring Mars.

What are graduates doing after six months?
This is what graduates told us they were doing (and earning), shortly after completing their course. We've crunched the numbers to show you if these immediate prospects are high, medium or low, compared to those studying this subject/s at other universities.
Top job areas of graduates
This is a newly-classified subject area for this kind of data, so we don’t currently have very much information to display or analyse yet. The subject is linked to important and growing computing industries, and over time we can expect more students to study them — there could be opportunities that open up for graduates in these subjects as the economy develops over the next few years.

Top job areas of graduates
Artificial intelligence is a very specialist subject taken by less than 100 people a year at the moment, so there is little reliable information available on graduate prospects - bear that in mind when you review the stats above. Graduates taking this type of subject are more likely than other computing graduates to go into further research. However, if you want to find out more specifically about the potential graduate outcomes of a specific course, it's a good idea to go on open days and talk to tutors about what previous graduates have gone on to do.
What about your long term prospects?
Looking further ahead, below is a rough guide for what graduates went on to earn.
