Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
You'll specialise your skills and knowledge in artificial intelligence and robotics within a broader computer science foundation. A course like this typically moves from programming fundamentals, using languages such as Python and Java, through core topics including computer systems and architecture, discrete mathematics, algorithms and data structures, databases and software engineering. In the middle years, you'll study artificial intelligence and machine learning alongside practical work in building systems. Later, you'll usually choose from specialist areas such as cybersecurity, data science, software engineering, systems and networks, and human-computer interaction. You'll also normally undertake security and networks study, and conclude with a substantial supervised individual project that you'll design, build and evaluate.
Who it's for
This course suits those seeking to develop expertise in artificial intelligence and robotics whilst maintaining flexibility through part-time study. It's designed for learners who want to engage with contemporary computing challenges, from machine learning systems to cyber security and cloud infrastructure. Whether you're transitioning into tech, deepening existing knowledge, or balancing study with work or other commitments, the part-time format allows you to progress at your own pace whilst earning a nationally recognised degree.

International students
What applying to LMU from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is set per course by LMU; international fees are typically £12,000–£30,000/year for classroom subjects and higher for lab/clinical ones. You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check LMU’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with LMU and gov.uk before you apply.
