COURSE INTRODUCTION

Discover the experience

AI & Computer Science introduces students to the ideas behind modern computing and intelligent systems. Students explore how computers represent information, how software is structured, and why different approaches to problem-solving produce different results.

Through practical coding challenges and small design tasks, students develop logical thinking, debugging skills and creative problem-solving. The programme also introduces important real-world questions around bias, privacy and responsible AI.

Case studies connect classroom concepts with applications such as recommendation systems, language technology, autonomous systems and digital services.
