FHEQ level

This course is set at Level 7 (Masters) in the national Framework for Higher Education Qualifications.

Course learning outcomes

Demonstrate systematic knowledge and comprehensive understanding of the concepts, principles and theories of Artificial Intelligence(AI)/intelligent systems and the current scientific approaches to understanding intelligence, in humans, animals and/or machines.

Evaluate and critically analyse information and argument from a range of disciplines related to AI/intelligent systems and the current scientific approaches to understanding intelligence, in humans, animals and/or machines.

Demonstrate systematic understanding of how evolutionary and adaptive ideas from biology can be applied to practical problems.

Demonstrate systematic understanding of how a systems approach can further understanding of evolutionary and adaptive issues in biology.

Analyse and solve problems related to their expertise in AI/intelligent systems and identify where evolutionary and adaptive systems have a realistic chance of improving over other techniques for solving problems.

Read and critically analyse academic literature from a range of disciplines related to intelligent and adaptive systems.

Evaluate information and argument in a critical and reflexive manner.

Communicate complex material resulting from study and research, both in writing and orally.

Demonstrate their computing, technical and theoretical skills by developing a substantial AI or evolutionary and adaptive system.

Systematically extend their knowledge and understanding to encompass new principles and practice to an advanced level.

Autonomously plan, conduct and report on the development of a project.

Demonstrate self-direction and creativity in independent research.

Systematically plan and execute projects to a deadline and within resource constraints.
