BSc Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence
About this course
Computer science and artificial intelligence is a degree that brings together the theoretical and practical foundations of computing with the rapidly expanding field of machine intelligence. Computer science provides the essential grounding: algorithms, data structures, software engineering, systems design, and the mathematical underpinnings of computation. Artificial intelligence extends that into machine learning, neural networks, natural language processing, computer vision, and the design of systems that can learn, reason, and adapt. Together, these disciplines prepare you to work at the frontier of technology that is reshaping every industry. At Loughborough University, this four-year programme is accredited by the British Computer Society, which is a recognised mark of professional quality in the computing field. You will develop rigorous programming skills, systems knowledge, and mathematical foundations alongside specialist training in machine learning and artificial intelligence, working on projects that reflect the kinds of systems the industry is building. Loughborough's strong connections with industry and its research-active environment give the programme practical credibility alongside academic depth. The typical entry tariff is 152 UCAS points. Graduates of computer science and artificial intelligence programmes are among the most sought-after in the current job market. Machine learning engineering, AI research, data science, software development, robotics, computer vision, and natural language processing are all natural career paths. Technology companies, financial services, healthcare, defence, automotive, and virtually every other sector that is deploying AI systems actively recruits graduates with this combination of skills. BCS accreditation supports progression towards chartered IT professional status. Many graduates also go on to postgraduate research in AI or computer science, where the field continues to develop rapidly.
