Course summary

This three-year BEng Artificial Intelligence degree will give you new skills in numerical software development and enable you to apply knowledge and mathematical principles in the design and implementation of modern artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science systems, providing the opportunity to work in a wide range of industries from transport to healthcare and communications to enterainment. Beyond modules specialising in core skills required for all AI, machine learning (ML) and data scientists and engineers, the programme offers a broad range of optional modules that derive from world-leading research carried out by our academic staff in areas such as Deep Learning, Computer Vision and Robotics. The demand for highly numerate and skilled scientists and engineers in the AI field is already massive and continues to grow. Southampton Computer Science graduates are also in high demand as we have a world-leading reputation for creative solutions based on cutting-edge knowledge and state-of-the-art technical skills. You’ll benefit from our strong relationships with employers, our Careers Hub who organise an annual careers fair and our dedicated startup incubator, Future Worlds - supporting student enterprise.

Modules

This three-year programme will enable you to pursue a career in a wide range of industries that can benefit from AI. It has been designed to maximise student choice by allowing you to tailor the degree structure to suit your own interests. During the first two years you will undertake a series of core modules, for example Algorithms and analysis; High- and Low-level Programming, Mathematics and Systematic design. In your second year, for your Interdisciplinary Group Project, you will develop an intelligent robotic system, working with computer engineering students on co-development of software and supporting hardware. In your third year, you will be taking an advanced Machine Learning module; this module covers content that would traditionally be seen at a Master's level in a CS degree. It follows on from two foundational machine learning modules in year two, which are more representative of the 3rd year content in a CS degree. In your third year, you can also choose from a wide range of optional modules that reflect a specialist area of AI. You will also work on an individual project with the potential to explore cutting edge technologies and innovative applications.

Assessment method

A range of assessment methods are used on this programme to enable students to demonstrate their achievement of the intended learning outcomes. These include written examinations and assessments, in-class tests, design exercises, programming exercises, oral presentations, assessed laboratories and group work exercises.
