Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence has moved from a research frontier to a central feature of how organisations across every sector operate, make decisions, and develop new capabilities. Computer science provides the theoretical and technical foundations, including algorithms, data structures, software engineering, and systems design, while artificial intelligence adds the specific knowledge of machine learning, neural networks, natural language processing, computer vision, and reasoning systems that enable machines to perform tasks that previously required human intelligence. The combination is one of the most employable and intellectually stimulating available in computing.
At Lincoln this part-time programme, which includes a sandwich year and integrated work placements, develops your knowledge across both computer science and artificial intelligence, preparing you for roles in one of the fastest-growing areas of technology. You will study the foundations of computer science alongside the specific techniques and applications of artificial intelligence, learning both the principles that make AI systems work and the practical skills to build and deploy them. The programme recognises that technical expertise in AI is needed across a wide range of industries, including healthcare, agriculture, transportation, and finance, and it is designed to develop graduates who can contribute to the advancement of current and emerging technologies.
The part-time structure makes the programme accessible to students who have other commitments, and the sandwich year and work placements ensure that your academic learning is connected to professional experience in real technology environments.
Graduates move into careers as software engineers, machine learning engineers, data scientists, AI researchers, systems developers, and technology consultants across a wide range of industries. Postgraduate study in AI, computer science, or related fields is an option for those who wish to specialise further or pursue research.
