Computer applications are changing. The way you learn them should too.

Artificial intelligence is changing how software is designed, how data is interpreted and how complex problems are solved. Tomorrow's application developers will need more than familiarity with AI tools. They will need to understand the computing systems behind them and know how to build, test and deploy intelligent solutions.

The BCA (Hons) AI program at CQST brings together the foundations of computer applications and the specialised knowledge required to develop AI-powered applications.
