Artificial intelligence (AI) is the construction of artificial systems that have intelligent behaviour.
There are two main motivations for research. One is to understand natural intelligence through the use of computer models. The other provides techniques and technology for building systems capable of intelligent decisions and actions. AI is both a science and an engineering discipline.
In a recent report, it was found that 26% of CEOs ranked talent shortage as the top damaging factor to business outlook (Gartner, 2024), highlighting the pressing concern of finding and retaining skilled employees for many companies today. Human Resources plays a key role in all businesses, from talent acquisition, employee training and development, to reinforcing the values of the business, HR helps to drive employee engagement and maintain a positive business culture.
Computer science is about understanding, designing, implementing and using computing systems. These systems can range in scale, and complexity, from the tiny components of a single processor to the globe-spanning internet.
The core concepts of computing come from mathematics, logic and engineering, such as:
This joint degree offers the opportunity to combine an appreciation of mathematical reasoning with an understanding of computing.
Mathematics is a fundamental intellectual tool in computing, but computing is increasingly used as a key component in mathematical problem-solving.
