Artificial Intelligence

About this course

Artificial intelligence is at the frontier of computer science, and the demand for people who understand it at a rigorous technical level is growing faster than the supply. AI is not simply a set of tools to be used; it is a field of study concerned with how computational systems can be made to exhibit behaviour that we would characterise as intelligent, from pattern recognition and natural language processing to reasoning, planning, and learning from data. Understanding AI at this level requires a strong foundation in mathematics, computer science, and the theoretical underpinnings of machine learning and cognitive systems. At the University of Edinburgh, one of the world's leading centres for AI research, this four-year programme is designed to equip you with both the practical knowledge and the depth of understanding needed to succeed in a fast-growing and highly competitive field.
