Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) with Study Abroad
Artificial intelligence is transforming every sector of the economy and reshaping how we work, communicate, and make decisions. As the current course description notes, this degree is designed to give you the knowledge and skills to be part of the AI future, rather than simply watching it unfold from the outside. Computer science with a specialism in AI develops the technical foundations of the discipline alongside specific expertise in machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and intelligent systems design.
This four-year full-time programme at the University of Hull includes a study abroad year, giving you the opportunity to study AI and computer science at an international partner institution and to engage with the global community of AI researchers and practitioners. With a typical tariff of 88 points, the programme is accessible to students who demonstrate genuine mathematical ability and curiosity about computation rather than requiring the highest prior attainment. The AI specialism sits within a solid computer science foundation, ensuring that you understand not just how to use AI tools but why they work and how to build and evaluate them rigorously.
You will study programming, algorithms, data structures, machine learning and deep learning, neural networks, natural language processing, reinforcement learning, AI ethics, and the software engineering principles needed to build reliable AI systems. The study abroad year adds an international dimension and may provide access to research groups and industrial environments at the cutting edge of AI development.
Graduates from computer science with AI programmes are among the most sought-after in the technology sector. Careers include machine learning engineering, data science, AI research, software development, and roles across healthcare, finance, autonomous systems, and many other industries where AI is rapidly becoming central. Many graduates continue to postgraduate study or research in AI or related fields.
