BSc Mathematics and Artificial Intelligence

University of Leicester, United Kingdom

Course Overview

Your course will involve regular group meetings, run by staff and other students, discussing students' work. In addition, you will gain experience presenting mathematical arguments to fellow students, enhancing and developing your presentation and communication skills.

Developing ICT and programming skills is integral to all our mathematics degrees. Through a combination of computer labs and dedicated modules, you will learn to use the computational functions in Excel, program in Matlab and VBA, and use LaTeX for scientific writing. However, no previous computing knowledge is needed for any of our degrees.

A typical week for a first or second-year student might consist of nine or ten hours of lectures, about four hours of small group work, and about three hours of problem or computer classes. You will also spend several hours a week on private study: a review of lecture material, problem-solving, additional reading, and preparing for tutorials.
