Course Start

September 2027

Two creative specialists. One future-defining partnership.

Students starting an undergraduate degree at Norwich University of the Arts from September 2027 will graduate with a degree jointly awarded by Norwich and the Royal College of Art. Find out more about the partnership.

Our BSc AI and Robotics has been developed in response to rapid growth in industries built on artificial intelligence, automation and embodied intelligent systems. The course equips you with the technical, creative and analytical skills needed to design intelligent solutions that operate across physical and digital environments.

You’ll explore how intelligent machines sense and perceive their environments, make decisions, and act autonomously. Through hands‑on project work, you’ll learn to combine software, hardware and AI to create autonomous, interactive and intelligent systems that respond to real‑world constraints and human needs.

The course introduces you to the foundations of computer science before taking you deeper into artificial intelligence, robotics, automation and intelligent systems. From programming intelligent agents to developing autonomous and interactive technologies, you’ll gain practical experience aligned with employer demand in fast‑growing sectors such as AI engineering, robotics, automation, smart systems and applied research.

As you progress, you’ll develop a rigorous understanding of essential computing concepts alongside practical expertise in areas including machine learning, intelligent control, computer vision and networked systems. Each project is designed to strengthen your problem‑solving abilities and deepen your understanding of how intelligent systems process data, make decisions and interact with the world.

You’ll experiment with programming languages such as Python, C++ and Java, while working with AI frameworks, robotics platforms, sensors and physical computing systems. Alongside this, you’ll explore databases, networking and cloud‑based technologies, developing intelligent, real‑time and autonomous applications. As your confidence grows, you’ll tackle more advanced challenges including sensor fusion, robotics control systems and real‑time performance. Your learning journey is scaffolded with hands‑on project work, ensuring you graduate with experience of applying AI and robotics concepts in realistic contexts.

A key feature of the course is its balance between collaborative and independent work. Team‑based projects reflect industry workflows and help you develop communication, collaboration and technical leadership skills. In your final year, you’ll complete an individual, problem‑based project, designing and implementing an AI or robotics solution shaped by your interests and career ambitions.

Throughout the degree, you’ll engage with rapidly evolving areas of technology alongside critical discussions around ethics, sustainability and the societal impact of intelligent systems. With excellent tutorial support and interactive teaching, you’ll graduate confident, capable and ready for your future career or study.

Our partnership with the Royal College of Art

From September 2027, we’re offering our students at Norwich the world’s only current opportunity to study for an undergraduate degree that’s jointly awarded by Norwich University of the Arts and the Royal College of Art (RCA).

For 12 consecutive years, the RCA has been ranked as the world’s number one art and design university, by the respected QS ranking. A transformative and equitable space for free-thinking and collaboration, it’s the world’s largest community of postgraduate-only art and design students.

Every year RCA alumni are recognised as leaders in their disciplines, shaping our culture and world.

Students gain hands on experience with secure network design, encryption, penetration testing, and full stack development using SQL and NoSQL databases. You will gain hands-on experience in data analysis for detecting security anomalies and understanding attack patterns, as well as ethical considerations around hacking tools and user privacy.

Core Projects

Wayfinding Week

The first week of each academic year is called Wayfinding week. It’s an opportunity get your bearings, establish new connections and, after your first year at Norwich, re-establish old ones. Your course team will talk you through the year ahead and explain the expectations for the year. We’ll help you navigate new encounters and identify areas to focus on as you progress through your course.

Make it Manifest(o)

An important element of Wayfinding Week is taking part in our annual ‘Make it Manifest(o)’ project. Your course team will introduce the project in which we’ll ask you to consider your hopes and vision of the year ahead at Norwich and work with students in other year groups to bring your ideas to life. The project culminates in a celebratory display of work across the campus. The project will help you to develop your critical creativity through different approaches, concepts, and mediums. You’ll encounter diverse perspectives and build friendships and networks within our university community.

Interchange Week

Interchange weeks are opportunities to step away from your disciplinary studies and engage in projects, workshops, visits and talks that extend your knowledge and understanding of the world. Whether you learn a new skill or take part in a global challenge project with students from other courses, you will come away with new insights to take back to your course. Interchange is part of the schedule for all Norwich students with sessions held across and beyond the campus led by university staff, visiting lecturers and students.

Models, methods and practice in AI and Robotics (40 credits)

This unit introduces core artificial intelligence techniques underpinning intelligent systems.
