Digital Futures, Artificial Intelligence and Society University of Warwick

Overview

Key facts

• BASc Digital Futures, Artificial Intelligence and Society is built around a simple idea: the people best equipped to shape our digital future are those who can think across boundaries. In the first year, you'll acquire a critical foundation in interdisciplinarity — learning how to bring different methods and frameworks from across the arts, social sciences and the sciences into productive conversation. From there, you can choose one of two pathways: Media & Culture or Artificial Intelligence & Data gaining in-depth specialist knowledge and skills. In your final year, you will pull everything together, design strategies for real-world change across business, the third sector, policy and advocacy, and complete a major project on a topic of your choice, working with leading interdisciplinary academics and tutors actively researching in these areas.
• You will have the opportunity to undertake an optional placement year between the second and the final year of your study. Through this placement you will be able to gain real-world experience with a range of non-academic partners such as industry organisations, public sector bodies or charities. This year in practice allows you to apply your academic knowledge in professional contexts, develop key transferable skills, and build networks that enhance future career prospects. You will then be able to reflect on your experiences and integrate practical insights into your final year of study. The Digital Futures, Artificial Intelligence and Society programme is offered at University of Warwick.
