Overview

The BEng (Hons) Artificial Intelligence at the University of Bristol explores the engineering and computational principles used to create intelligent systems and data-driven technologies. The foundation stage develops essential knowledge in mathematics, computing, and engineering, preparing students for more advanced study of algorithms, machine learning, software, and intelligent applications.

What You'll Learn

• Mathematics and statistics for artificial intelligence and engineering applications.

• Programming, computational thinking, algorithms, and software development.

• Data structures and techniques for organising and processing information.

• Artificial intelligence principles and methods for developing intelligent systems.

• Machine learning and approaches to training computational models using data.

• Data analysis and computational methods for identifying patterns and making predictions.

• Robotics, autonomous systems, or intelligent control concepts where relevant to engineering applications.

• Computer systems and the technical foundations supporting AI applications.

• Engineering design, research, experimentation, teamwork, and technical communication.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, students will be able to apply mathematical, computational, and engineering principles to problems involving artificial intelligence. They will understand how algorithms, programming, data, and machine learning techniques contribute to the development of intelligent systems. Students will develop the ability to design, implement, test, and evaluate computational solutions and assess how effectively different approaches address particular problems. They will also be able to analyse data, interpret model results, and consider the limitations of computational methods. Through theoretical, practical, and engineering-focused study, students will strengthen their programming, analytical, research, problem-solving, and technical communication skills while developing an integrated understanding of how intelligent technologies are designed and developed.
