BSc (Hons) Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (With Foundation Year)

The Data Science and Artificial Intelligence with Foundation Year program are perfect if you want a degree in the field, but do not have the standard entry requirements. This program combines two key areas of computing, namely data science and artificial intelligence, in a synergistic manner. Data Science and Artificial Intelligence are two complementary areas of Intelligent Systems, with data science focusing on statistical techniques and Artificial Intelligence on algorithmic techniques. This course seeks to address the chronic shortage of suitably qualified data science and Artificial Intelligence specialists and, at the same time, prepare you for a fulfilling and varied career in this fast-growing IT sector.
