BSc Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence

About this course

Computer science with artificial intelligence is a degree that prepares you for one of the most consequential and rapidly developing areas in contemporary technology. Artificial intelligence encompasses the methods and systems by which computers learn from data, recognise patterns, make decisions, and automate tasks that previously required human intelligence. From natural language processing and computer vision to machine learning and autonomous systems, AI is reshaping every sector of the economy, and the ability to build, evaluate, and understand AI systems is one of the most sought-after capabilities in the graduate labour market. At Sheffield Hallam University, this part-time programme with a foundation year and sandwich year includes work placements, making it accessible to students who need to combine study with employment and giving you direct professional experience alongside your academic development. The programme prepares you to become a programmer who can build the next generation of software, supporting users in complex tasks, automating mundane processes, and using large datasets to help us understand the world. You will study programming, algorithms, data structures, software engineering, machine learning, neural networks, and the theoretical and practical dimensions of AI development, alongside the ethical and social considerations that arise when intelligent systems are built and deployed in the real world. Graduates go on to careers as AI developers, machine learning engineers, data scientists, software engineers, and technology consultants across every sector that is using or developing artificial intelligence capabilities, from healthcare, finance, and logistics to entertainment, defence, and public services. The demand for AI skills is strong, growing, and expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. Many graduates pursue professional certifications or postgraduate study in AI, machine learning, or data science, and some go on to research careers at the frontier of artificial intelligence development.
