Highlights

Background
With the BSc Computer Science (Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence), students will be able to apply for a range of technical, problem-solving jobs in a rapidly growing area. Machine learning (ML) provides a means for computer systems to extract useful information from data. These techniques are widely used in the technology industry for a variety of applications, for example, recommending music and products to people, identifying faces in photos and predicting trends in financial markets. Companies and institutions are applying ML and AI (artificial intelligence) to a wide range of problems in business, finance, medicine, education, video games, engineering and science as well as new application areas such as music and other creative work.

The preparatory course is of 12 hours with an aim to provide tuition support to students for studying the BSc Computer Science (Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence). Comprehensive online learning material is to be provided by UoL and this preparatory course will provide the essential face-to-face tuition teaching support.
