In general, international applicants will need to have achieved an overall IELTS grade of 6.0 with a minimum score of 5.5 in each component.
The artificial intelligence (AI) fuelled by the rise in computer processing power, the profusion of data, and the development of techniques such a ‘Machine learning’ is undergoing a significant transformation. This foundation year is part of the Artificial Intelligence with Computer Science offered by the University of South Wales for those students who want to enrol on this course but don’t have the required grades.
The Artificial Intelligence with Computer Science is BCS accredited and was designed in line with professional standards. This degree guarantees your first step towards a career in one of the well paid and trending career pathways. Our degree is tool-based, and the teaching style offers the students a conceptual grounding in AI systems, and then allow them to apply their theoretical knowledge in a practical setting.
You’ll work on real-world like problems in readiness for employment, developing critical skills that will help you keep pace with this rapidly changing field. If you desire to become an AI expert, then this is the right course for you.

Foundation Year: Artificial Intelligence with Computer Science Degree
The foundation year can be a real attribute to the students' overall degree success and will provide a sound base on which to establish a successful academic career. During the foundation year, you will undertake core modules as follows:
Software Development Fundamentals
Integrated Computing Devices
Web Development Fundamentals
Information Systems
Cyber Security and Forensics
Foundations of Mathematics for Computing
The Artificial Intelligence with Computer Science degree is structured around six main themes, or pillars, that are developed through a year of study. These pillars cover AI-related modules, Computer Science modules and Informatics modules. Every module feeds into the next year's module in the pillar and complement modules offered in the same academic year of study.
Our course has a balance between academic required skills, which supports the employment readiness of our students. The knowledge gain outcome of every year is measurable based on the practical techniques and tools learned. We don’t expect students to have a strong background in topics like Maths, Programming or Informatics. Thus, we offer modules to cover the mentioned needed knowledge, and we focused it on AI.
In our focused AI modules, we cover all the needed skills required by “Data Analysis” career pathway up to the second year. And we included all the skills necessary for a “Data Engineer” career pathway, which gives our graduates a head start in the job market.

AI technologies development has created a demand for new skills. Our course design will allow graduates to build and develop a portfolio during their degree. And it will also allow them to obtain suitable experiences to present an industry orientated practical skills to employers.
Students will also be encouraged and supported to pursue projects of their own and create their carer rather than finding one; if this is what they want to do.
The transferrable skills such as problem-solving, analysis, modelling, solution developing, and evaluation offered in this course will prepare our graduates for a range of careers.
The most common fields where employment is growing are in developing robotic and smart solutions for manufacturing, healthcare, transport, energy, defence, research, etc. Graduates roles could include:
Robotics Design specialist
Software engineer/developer
Intelligent Systems architect
Analyst in a Finance
Analyst in a Health
Analyst in a Sports
Further study
Business Management Masters
Intelligence analyst in a range of sectors such as Finance Masters
Artificial intelligence Masters
Artificial intelligence Masters
PhDs researching
