Artificial intelligence sits at the centre of today's most important technological advances, driving demand for specialists who can design, build and deploy AI systems. The BSc (Hons) Artificial Intelligence develops the fundamental knowledge and practical skills needed to succeed in this rapidly evolving field. You'll progress from foundations in machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning and computer vision to real-world AI applications in areas such as security, scientific computing and the digital humanities. The BSc also offers the chance to apply to add either a placement year or a year abroad to your degree, increasing the course from three years to four.

We will consider applicants studying T level qualifications for entry to many of our courses. Where a course requires subject specific knowledge and this is not covered within the T level being studied, you may need to supplement your T level studies with a suitable qualification to meet this requirement, for example at A level. Where this is needed this will be clearly stated in our entry requirements. Detailed entry requirements can be found on individual course entries on our courses database. https://www.durham.ac.uk/study/courses/g400/#entry-requirements-1237436
**Durham Education 2027** The University is committed to continuous improvement and is currently undertaking a review to enhance our courses. As we make updates, some details of courses advertised for 2027 entry may change. These enhancements are being developed in consultation with students and in response to student feedback. We will not be making changes to degree subjects, academic standards or the broad concepts that will be taught, but to how courses are organised. In some cases this may mean that the balance of compulsory and optional modules may change. Any updates will be communicated transparently and by the end of summer 2026, ensuring applicants know exactly what to expect from their chosen degree. For current module information please visit our course page.
