Compulsory modules

Programming Fundamentals (15 credits)

The aim of this module is to provide the students with an understanding and programming skills for for solving practical problems in different applications.

Principles of Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics (15 credits)

The aims of this module are to:

  • Introduce students to the foundational concepts of data processing and their use in Artificial Intelligence (AI).
  • Enable students to gain background knowledge necessary to understand and develop different algorithms in AI and Data analytics.

Grand Challenges (15 credits)

The aim of this module is to give students an opportunity to explore grand challenges facing our global society and to propose imaginative solutions to specific challenges in one or more country.

Students will critically reflect on the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals and think about how Loughborough University's Creating Better Futures. Together Strategy might contribute to them.

Students will engage with ideas and approaches to possible solutions from their own programme and gain diverse insights from Loughborough University London's interdisciplinary ecosystem. This will involve solution-oriented thinking and a balance between criticality and possibility, leading to a deep understanding of grand challenges and imagining creative responses to them.

Algorithms and Data Structures (15 credits)

The aim is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of algorithms and data structures, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to design, analyse, and implement efficient algorithms for solving computational problems. Students will be introduced to various data types such as stacks, queues, trees and graphs. It will also enable students to evaluate and explain the computational complexity of a given problem and select appropriate algorithms to solve it.
