About this position
Artificial Intelligence BSc (Hons) at the University of Edinburgh is a four-year, full-time undergraduate programme delivered through the School of Informatics. Based mainly in Edinburgh, the degree introduces artificial intelligence as both a scientific field for understanding natural intelligence through computer models and an engineering discipline for building systems capable of intelligent decisions and actions.
Students explore how intelligent systems can converse, play games, conduct web searches, control devices and support robotic applications. The programme offers flexibility to focus on areas of artificial intelligence and computer science that match individual interests, with research-driven teaching from internationally leading academics.
The early curriculum combines mathematics and informatics through a common core, while later years provide increasing opportunities for specialisation. Students study 120 credits per year through compulsory and optional courses, including options outside the School of Informatics. Teaching includes lectures, tutorials and practical classes, followed by projects involving computer-system construction, software development and experimental work. A substantial individual project is completed in the final year.
The main learning environment is Appleton Tower on the University’s Central Campus, with additional classes at the Nucleus building at King’s Buildings. Students have access to high-specification computer laboratories, computing servers, libraries and the Informatics Makerspace, which includes 3D printers, programmable platforms, robots, laser cutters, mills and electronics equipment. The School is a large international informatics community with industry links, technical societies, workshops and hackathons.
Students may be able to spend the third year abroad through partner universities in destinations including Australia, the United States, Canada, Europe and Singapore. Graduates can progress into software engineering, data science, programming, app and web development, hardware engineering, business analysis and further study such as master’s degrees or PhDs.
