- [Requirements](#requirements)
- [Relevant Degrees](#relevant-degrees)

The Artificial Intelligence specialisation offers a deep insight into the world of artificial intelligence and its current frontiers. Students will learn about AI search, optimisation, reasoning, planning, diagnosis, intelligent agents (reinforcement learning, information-theoretic foundations). Building on their core subjects, the specialisation provides skills for graduates in a number of areas to assist the design and development of existing and emerging AI software and solutions.

\

## Learning Outcomes

1. demonstrate a solid understanding of a variety of Artificial Intelligence approaches.\
2. formalise real-world problems and select the most appropriate Artificial Intelligence method to solve such a problem.\
3. implement Artificial Intelligence algorithms and design and carry out empirical evaluations.\
4. compare and critique all state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence approaches.

## Other Information

This Specialisation is incompatible with the Computing and Mathematical Foundations minor, the Intelligent Systems major, and the Advanced Intelligent Systems major.

## Relevant Degrees
