The comprehensive curriculum of this course emphasises an appropriate understanding and application of integral AI and Data Science concepts, and their application to solve real-world problems. In addition one year of industrial placement to complement the curriculum through practical exposure. Upon successful completion of this course, graduates should be able to efficiently function in diverse fields accompanied with AI and Data Science.
Awarded by the Robert Gordon University, UK
Recognized by the University Grants Commission of Sri Lanka
The BSc (Hons) Artificial Intelligence and Data Science course is awarded by Robert Gordon University (RGU) in the UK in collaboration with the Informatics Institute of Technology (IIT) in Sri Lanka. This course is designed to address the shortage of the rising demand of workforce with skills in artificial intelligence and data science (AI and DS), as well as to provide the opportunity for students aspiring to a career in AI and DS.
Students will be able to gain practical understanding of contemporary AI and DS trends and technologies in developing cutting-edge solutions. Specifically, the course adopts a general to specific organisation of modules; whereby initially a range of modules organised under key streams, Systems, Mathematics, Programming and AI and DS, is gradually specialised into AI and DS modules, as students progress through Stages 1 to 4. This will include modules such as Programming, Database, Web, IoT, Algorithms, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Machine Vision, Mathematics and Statistics; where students are exposed to both theoretical principles and state-of-the-art technological advances. This will enable students to unlock the power of automation, analytics and AI, paving the way for innovation while following the course and after graduation.
