Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence
Computer science with artificial intelligence is a degree that places one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving fields in technology at the centre of a rigorous computing education. Artificial intelligence is concerned with building systems that can perceive, reason, learn, and act in ways that require or simulate human cognitive capabilities. It encompasses machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, planning, and robotics, and its applications span healthcare, finance, transport, agriculture, entertainment, and virtually every other sector of the modern economy.
Studied alongside the core principles of computer science, it produces graduates with both the technical foundations and the specialist AI knowledge that industry increasingly demands.
At the University of Lincoln, this three-year full-time programme develops your understanding of AI as a multifaceted branch of computer science alongside the foundational skills of software engineering, algorithms, data structures, and systems design. You will study how intelligent systems are built and evaluated, and develop practical skills in implementing AI techniques across a range of application domains. A sandwich placement year and work placement opportunities are built into the programme, giving you direct professional experience in a computing or AI-related setting before you graduate.
The typical entry tariff of 104 points reflects the accessible character of the programme.
You will develop both the technical depth to implement AI systems and the broader computer science knowledge to understand how those systems fit into larger software architectures and organisational contexts.
Graduates are in demand across the technology sector, in roles including machine learning engineer, data scientist, AI researcher, software developer, and systems architect. Healthcare, finance, transport, and the public sector are all recruiting graduates with AI expertise. Postgraduate study in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, or robotics is a well-established route for those seeking more specialist positions.
