Learning and assessment

A key and distinctive feature of BSc (Hons) Applied Artificial Intelligence at Bradford is the inclusion of active, collaborative and creative projects at each stage of the programme. This project-based approach, developed with reference to the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) framework commonly used in engineering fields, will be guided in year one; supported in year two but with a greater focus on independent learning and individual choice; moving to a more autonomous, supervised model in the final year.

Throughout the programme, assessments have been designed to mirror the type of tasks graduates would be expected to perform in industry and/or other professional settings. These methods include:

  • Project proposals, plans, presentation of findings and evaluation reports
  • Presentations, both oral and written
  • Case study reports
  • Practical tasks such as data processing/visualisation or creating blocks of programming code
  • Professional portfolio
