Full event details

The visit begins with a 90-minute session unpacking the ‘black box’ of AI. You’ll examine how Neutral Networks learn patterns from vast datasets, uncover the maths behind how machines interpret language, and consider the computational power required to make these systems work. 

You will then tour Birkbeck’s Immersive Learning Lab, where you can experience the latest VR and AR technologies, followed by a student-led tour of our facilities and Bloomsbury campus to finish - a great opportunity to ask questions and get a feel for student life at Birkbeck. 

Whether you’re intrigued by machine learning or curious about how AI is shaping our modern world, this taster offers an insight into the research-led teaching at the heart of Birkbeck’s BSc Computer Science with AI programme, and how it equips you for exciting careers across the rapidly evolving AI and technology sectors. The course offers both daytime and evening teaching, giving you the flexibility to study in a way that fits your life.
