Overview
BSc in Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence at Sunway College Kathmandu
Sunway College Kathmandu offers a BSc in Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence, which is affiliated with Birmingham City University, UK, and it embodies the academic and industrial understanding that artificial intelligence is a highly demanded specialization of computer science. Therefore, artificial intelligence practitioners must have a solid foundation in computer science.
Level Four
The first year equips you with a solid foundation in key topics in Computer Science and introduces artificial intelligence. Therefore, the first year shares five of its six modules with BSc (Hons) Computer Science. It covers key concepts, such as computer programming, algorithms and data structures, computer systems, website development, and introductory artificial intelligence, and nurtures your creativity with an innovation project. Presentations, seminar discussions of key topics and ideas, and collaborative practices with other students in the school or faculty support your practice. After the first year, you will have covered a broad range of topics in Computer Science that will upskill you to understand the key industrial skills and prepare you to take advanced topics in the subsequent years.
Level Five
The second year consolidates your learning with four computer science modules and two artificial intelligence-specific modules. The computer science curriculum includes highly sought-after skills in cyber security, software design, object-oriented programming, databases, and web application development. The topics on artificial intelligence are machine learning and machine learning operations.
These topics are efficient and underpin the roles of Software Developers, Computer Programmers, and Machine Learning Engineers in industry.
Level 5 consists of a dedicated professional placement in Year 3 that helps you get hands-on industry experience working in the field.
Level Six
The final year covers the advanced topics in the practice of artificial intelligence and the key application areas. These include Deep Learning, the technology behind the mass adoption of artificial intelligence in industry, and its applications in computer vision and natural language processing. This year also teaches key enabling technology powering scalable computing in industry.
Your learning culminates into an Individual Honours Project where you display your knowledge by developing a well-rounded, professionally produced, artificial intelligence-driven software solution for a problem of modern relevance.
The final year prepares you for a graduate-level job in the computing, artificial intelligence, and data science industry.
