Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, students will be able to apply programming, algorithms and mathematical concepts to develop computational solutions. They will understand how artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques can be used to process information, identify patterns and address complex problems. Students will develop the ability to design, implement and evaluate software and intelligent systems while analysing their technical effectiveness. They will also be able to work with data, assess AI approaches critically and consider relevant ethical and societal issues. Through individual and collaborative projects, students will strengthen their problem-solving, research and communication skills and learn to present technical findings clearly and systematically.
