About this course
Computer science with artificial intelligence is a programme designed for the present moment in technology. Artificial intelligence is no longer a niche research specialism: it is transforming healthcare, finance, transport, media, retail, and virtually every other sector of economic and social life. Understanding the computational foundations of AI, and being able to build and apply AI systems responsibly, is becoming one of the most sought-after capabilities in the graduate market. At Birkbeck College, this part-time programme blends foundational computer science principles with advanced AI techniques, providing a cutting-edge curriculum that prepares you for the challenges of an AI-shaped future. You will study the mathematical and programming foundations of computing alongside the specific techniques of machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and intelligent systems. The programme develops your ability not only to apply existing AI tools but to understand how they work, what their limitations are, and how they can be designed and used responsibly. Birkbeck's evening and weekend teaching model makes this programme accessible to students who are already working in technology or related fields, allowing you to develop expertise without interrupting your career. Graduates from computer science with AI programmes are well placed for careers in machine learning engineering, data science, AI research, software engineering, product management in technology companies, and technical consulting. The ability to combine sound computer science fundamentals with applied AI knowledge is genuinely rare and highly valued. Further study at postgraduate level in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, or computer science is available for those who wish to pursue research or highly specialist roles.
