Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence)

About this course

Computer science with a specialism in artificial intelligence sits at the frontier of one of the most consequential technological developments in human history. Artificial intelligence encompasses machine learning, neural networks, natural language processing, computer vision and the broader project of building systems that can perform tasks previously requiring human intelligence. The field is advancing rapidly, and the graduates who understand not just how to use current AI tools but how to design and develop the next generation of systems are among the most sought-after in the global technology workforce. At Heriot-Watt University this four-year full-time programme is designed with exactly that goal in mind: not just teaching you to use existing techniques, but empowering you to understand and develop what comes next. You will build strong foundations in programming, algorithms, data
