Overview
The BSc (Hons) Data Science and Artificial Intelligence explores how data can be collected, analysed and transformed into useful insights using computational and intelligent technologies. At Bournemouth University, students develop knowledge across data science, programming, statistics and artificial intelligence while learning how these disciplines can be applied to complex problems.
 

What You'll Learn

• Core principles of data science, artificial intelligence and computational thinking
• Programming and software development for data-focused applications
• Mathematics, statistics and methods for analysing data
• Data management, preparation, visualisation and interpretation
• Machine learning and intelligent computational techniques
• Artificial intelligence concepts and their practical applications
• Algorithms, computational problem-solving and data structures
• Databases and technologies for storing and processing data
• Research methods and approaches to evaluating data-driven solutions
• Ethical, professional and societal considerations surrounding data and AI

Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, students will be able to apply programming, mathematical and statistical techniques to collect, process and analyse data. They will understand how artificial intelligence and machine learning methods can be used to identify patterns, generate predictions and address complex computational problems. Students will be able to evaluate data and AI techniques critically, select appropriate approaches for different problems, and communicate findings clearly. They will also develop the ability to design and assess data-driven solutions while considering issues such as responsible data use, ethical practice and the wider impact of artificial intelligence on society.
