BSc Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence
Queen Mary University of London
About this course
BSc (Hons) in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, a computer science and computer science (artificial intelligence) degree centred on computational systems and intelligent technologies. Core topics include Programming, Computer Architecture, Data Analysis, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students complete an individual project in the final year and can apply for an industrial placement year or a study abroad year as part of a four-year route. The first year establishes core foundations through modules such as Procedural Programming, Computer Systems and Networks, Logic and Discrete Structures, and Object Oriented Programming. The second year introduces specialized concepts via Algorithms and Data Structures, Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, Database Systems, and Design and Build Project in Artificial Intelligence. The third year centres around a substantial independent Project alongside compulsory study in Principles of Machine Learning. Students also select from various optional modules covering advanced topics such as Data Mining, Security Engineering, Neural Networks and Deep Learning, and Introduction to Natural Language Processing.

Entry requirements
Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence - BSc (Hons): A-Level: Grades AAA at A-Level. This must include one of A-Level Mathematics, Computer Science, or Physics. IB: International Baccalaureate Diploma with a minimum of 36 points overall, including 6,6,6 from three Higher Level subjects. This must include either Mathematics, Computer Science, or Physics at Higher Level. We will consider either Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation or Mathematics: Analysis and approaches at Higher Level. BTEC: See our detailed subject and grade requirements. Access HE: We consider applications from students with the Access to Higher Education Diploma in Computing. The minimum academic requirement is to achieve 60 credits overall, with 45 credits at Level 3, of which 33 credits must be at Distinction and 12 credits at Merit or higher. Applications are considered on a case by case basis. Due to the high volume of applications, we do not make offers of study purely on the basis of meeting grade requirements. GCSE Mathematics at grade B/5 is required in addition to the Access qualification. GCSE: Both GCSE English at grade C or 4 and Maths at grade B or 5 (or an acceptable equivalent will be required. EPQ: Alternative offers may be made to applicants taking the Extended Project Qualification. For further information please visit: qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/epq. Contextualised admissions: Our standard contextual offer: ABB including one of Maths, Physics or Computer Science at A-Level. Our enhanced contextual offer: BBB including one of Maths, Physics or Computer Science at A-Level. More information on our contextual offer criteria can be found on our contextualised admissions page . Please note that General Studies and Critical Thinking are excluded from any A-Level offer and
