What this course is about

UCAS code: G704

Here's what University of Leeds says about its Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) (Industrial) course.

Artificial intelligence is one of the fastest developing areas of computer science. It is being used in exciting new ways to enhance and evolve computer games, web search, biometric systems and many other areas. Artificial intelligence is also being applied to important economic and societal issues in fields such as medicine, health, transport and smarter cities.

Developments in artificial intelligence are radically changing the way that we interact with each other, process data and make decisions. From commerce to healthcare, from agritech to government – innovators in computer science and artificial intelligence and are often at the forefront of new technological developments and already creating the solutions of tomorrow.

Successful computer scientists are not only skilled programmers, but they are also highly creative thinkers and problem-solvers who are adept at handling complex information. Computing touches every industry, everywhere, so computer scientists and artificial intelligence specialists are in demand in a variety of sectors.

Studying a computer science with artificial intelligence degree at Leeds will equip you with the core technical and problem-solving skills to tackle current and emerging challenges in this fast-changing field. Alongside technical skills such as algorithm design, problem solving and practical programming, you'll develop a raft of vital workplace skills such as collaborative working and project management, as well as studying specialist artificial intelligence topics such as machine learning, deep learning, text analytics and their applications in areas from vision to automated reasoning.

You’ll also be taught in our brand new, purpose-built hub for students and academics – the?Sir William Henry Bragg Building?– which is home to leading research and specialist teaching facilities here on campus.

If you want to be challenged, to work in multidisciplinary teams, solve global and emerging challenges and have a portable and highly sought-after skill set then studying computer science is a great option. The topics you’ll study reflect the latest developments in computer science, equipping you with the key knowledge, skills and experience you need to begin your career in this highly valued profession.

Studying computer science is the perfect foundation for a career in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Cybersecurity, Software Engineering (full stack development), Blockchain development, Augmented/Virtual Reality or Data Science.

Computer Science provides essential knowledge in algorithms, data structures, and programming—key skills needed to develop Artificial Intelligence systems. Computer science also covers machine learning, neural networks, and big data processing, all of which are critical for building and improving AI models. With AI transforming industries from healthcare to finance, a strong background in computer science opens doors to exciting opportunities in this rapidly growing field.

Industrial placement year This programme gives you the opportunity to undertake a paid industrial placement year as part of the course. Our close industry links give you the platform to apply to a number of major organisations such as Apple, Microsoft and Amazon.
