I am from the United States, next year I am probably going to attend the the University of Edinburgh for The Computer Science and Artificial intelligence course. Something I have been wondering is how US employers view the university, particularly with the somewhat strange (at least in the US) course title - "Artificial intelligence?"
- harveynick 8y agoAre you considering doing a foreign year, or your whole degree in Edinburgh? I can only speak for my current employer (Google), who look very favourably on degrees from Edinburgh. It's one of the four UK universities we recruit from directly. As for the course title, there's also "Computer Science" in it, which people can latch on to if they need that. When people asked about the AI part of my course I would say "Software Engineering is 'This is what works', Computer Science is 'This is why this works', and Artificial Intelligence is 'I wonder if this works'".
- neil_macintyre 8y agoThanks, that is good to know. I am doing a whole degree there. I am not sure how recruiting works at Google but when you say Google do you mean London or US based offices? Obviously I don't know what I will want to do in 4 years but I anticipate moving back to the US after I graduate.
