Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence with Foundation Year
Leeds Trinity University
UCAS Code: C201 | Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)
About this course
Are you interested in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how computer science can be used to mimic human behaviour? Would you like to explore the development of AI and its impact on the way we live and work?
On this course, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding and critical awareness of the main concepts and principles in AI and their application across a wide range of industries.
This four-year course includes an initial full-time Foundation Year and offers an alternative route into university and gaining a degree.
This route is for you if you do not have the necessary qualifications or don’t yet feel ready to begin degree-level study, or are returning to education and would like some support to get up to speed with learning in a university setting.
The Foundation Year in Computing will allow you to develop your academic skills and confidence as well as introduce you to key concepts, debates and skills that will support and inform your subsequent years of undergraduate study.
Following successful completion of your Foundation Year, you’ll progress onto Year 1 of our Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence BSc (Hons) degree.
Modules
Academic Skills and Studying with Confidence
This module is designed to build confidence and focuses upon developing learners’ skills and abilities to successfully pursue their higher education. The module will explore several employability and professional skills such as essay writing, use of library and electronic resources, time planning, note taking, stress management, building a bibliography, and avoiding plagiarism.

Project
This module is designed to introduce students to project work. By conducting an individual project on an approved topic of your choice, you will gradually develop, not only knowledge and understanding of a topic which you find interesting, but you will also develop important key academic skills. You will be working under supervision of a lecturer; who will guide you through the steps to develop your confidence in identifying reliable sources of information, researching a topic and planning your project.
Principles of Coding
The module is designed to equip you with the conceptual, technical and development skills required to build applications using the python programming language. The module will introduce you to the key theoretical concepts of the software development lifecycle, analytical thinking design and problem-solving. You will learn how to install, configure and use Integrated Development Environment (IDE), both stand-alone and web-based versions.
Principles of Web Development
This module is designed to give you the opportunity of building your skills and technical competence in web design and development. You will learn several web development technologies like Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cascading Style Sheet (CSS), JavaScript, and other open-source software tools. You will build your skills and competence in content integration, sectioning, wireframes, schema, design guidelines, website testing and verification and finally web hosting.

The Longitudinal Educational Outcomes dataset combines HRMC earnings data with student records from the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
While there are lots of factors at play when it comes to your future earnings, use this as a rough timeline of what graduates in this subject area were earning on average one, three and five years later. Can you see a steady increase in salary, or did grads need some experience under their belt before seeing a nice bump up in their pay packet?
