I am currently studying this degree at the same university. A few AI concepts (NLP and Formal Language Processing) are introduced in the 2nd year. Other than that, all courses are CS/Maths. Keep in mind that at Scottish Universities, students apply directly to their degree and besides one or two courses per year (some like Medicine or Law often have no electives), students take only courses within their degree. This way, with most AI courses in 3rd and 4th year, students tend to have a strong enough grounding in CS principles and Maths for this material. That's not to say that the degree is perfect, or providing "real/production" AI, but it is certainly well done.

You can see the courses here - http://www.drps.ed.ac.uk/18-19/dpt/utaintl.htm

Oh cool, what year are you in?

If it's 3rd or 4th I was one of the judges at your systems design practical.
