AI-powered health diagnostics. Managing your finances with AI-powered budgeting apps. Navigating cities using real-time traffic predictions. AI now influences many areas of our lives, from how we work and study to how we create, and even socialise.

With computer science and artificial intelligence being one of the most rapidly growing technological developments of our time, you could be at the forefront of transforming the world around us. At Queen Mary we’ve been leading on this topic for decades. We were recently ranked 7th in the UK for Data Science and AI by QS World Ranking by Subject 2025 and joint 1st for outstanding research impact (REF, 2021).

Follow your curiosities

During this programme, you’ll explore the fundamental concepts of computer science, be introduced to the different areas of AI, and design an individual project based on your own interests. You’ll also have the chance to apply for a year working in industry to put your learning into action or consider spending your third year studying abroad as part of our 4-year programme.

You’ll be taught by an expert team of academics who are dedicated to delivering a research-driven approach to education.  Through their involvement in our cutting-edge research groups, they’re equipped to introduce you to a range of topics including machine learning, game AI, operating systems and robotics.

Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (first teaching from September 2016)

Queen Mary University of London welcomes applications from students currently studying Level 3 BTEC qualifications and will consider you for entry to the majority of our undergraduate courses. The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for.

Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3.

Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/

If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice (admissions@qmul.ac.uk).
