Programme overview

The bachelor’s degree program in Artificial Intelligence (AI) prepares students for employment in a wide range of positions both in developing new AI systems and in the growing number of application domains. Coursework begins with the foundations of computer science and mathematics, then builds toward core AI areas such as machine learning, data analysis, natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics. The program emphasizes both the foundational aspects of modern AI and the hands-on skills needed to build and deploy AI systems responsibly. Students also study the societal, ethical, as well as philosophical implications of AI.
