YouÕll gain a good understanding of computer science and a grasp of the important elements of a computer system. YouÕll also learn how to build different types of software, from web-based systems to mobile solutions.

By specialising in AI youÕll develop a range of techniques which can be applied in software to solve complex problems. AI is inherent in modern games, financial trading systems and medical systems and enhances the software solutions in each of these areas.

YouÕll be confident in your knowledge of the nature, diversity and limitations of software artefacts (or programs) that display apparently intelligent behaviour, understand a range of machine learning paradigms, and be able to apply them to the production of innovative and useful artefacts.

The Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) course offered by Brunel University London is designed for flexibility, so if youÕre not sure which route you want to go, you can select modules and specialise gradually during your time with us. You can transfer between Computer Science and Business Computing up to the start of Level 2, then, should you wish, to choose a specialism up to the start of Level 3.
