Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) University of Sheffield

Our four-year degrees are a one-year extension to our BSc degrees which allows further specialisation. In your fourth year you'll develop research and analytical skills. You have the opportunity to contribute to a publication of your research findings and will also take part in a conference style presentation where you present your work.

Join the forefront of humanity's journey into intelligent systems with our four-year Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) MComp.

Beginning with the same foundation as the Computer Science BSc, our MComp degree gives you a grounding in the fundamentals, before encouraging you to specialise further in areas such as speech recognition, language processing or robotics.

Diverse teaching is at the core of our courses, allowing you to discover which areas ignite your passion. You'll have the opportunity to delve into the fascinating world of artificial intelligence, exploring areas like machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision.

In your fourth year you will pursue a specialised AI theme, getting the chance to work alongside our research staff as part of a group research project. You'll also have the option to participate in Genesys Solutions – our student-led software development organisation – throughout your final year, solving customer’s problems, using agile software engineering and lean startup practice.

As well as gaining a comprehensive knowledge of computer science, you will be encouraged to work in teams, develop your communication skills, and think about the impact of your work in a real-world context. These are essential for a career in industry or research, and demonstrate the well-rounded education our programme will provide you.

By the time you graduate, you will be well-equipped to tackle complex AI challenges and make a significant impact in various industries. From developing intelligent healthcare systems to designing autonomous vehicles, the possibilities are truly limitless.
