Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics | Bachelor's degree | Computer Science & IT | On Campus | 4 years | The University of Edinburgh | United Kingdom

Artificial intelligence (AI) studies the principles and mechanisms underlying intelligent processes in humans and other living organisms and attempts to apply such knowledge to the design of computer-based systems and to the understanding of natural intelligence.In recent years AI has become more mathematical. AI researchers have been extracting neat techniques from their "scruffy" programs and formalising them using mathematics. New uses are being found for mathematics in every area of AI and where existing mathematics is not up to the task, new kinds of mathematics are being invented. The Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics programme aims to reflect these developments. Studying at the University of Edinburgh's School of Informatics will provide you with a good foundation in computer science and will offer a new perspective on ways that computational thinking can be applied to different settings.You will develop a solid scientific understanding, and the practical skills required to analyse, design, implement and maintain computer-based systems in any setting. We are consistently highly ranked for research and teaching in Computer Science and Informatics, coming 20th in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2016. Informatics students come from diverse backgrounds and enjoy a strong community that will support you in your studies and extra-curricular activities.
