The Bachelor Program in Mathematical and Computing Sciences for Artificial Intelligence stands at the intersection of major scientific disciplines: mathematics, computer science, physics, and economics, with the objective to develop Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools.
The program is designed for bright, math-oriented students who want to acquire a deep and well-rounded understanding of the instruments required to tackle the current open questions in science, medicine, technology and society, and who grasp the growing impact of AI.
For further information, please visit the dedicated page.
The Master of Science Program in Artificial Intelligence offers a blend of theory and key applications of AI and machine learning and it is designed for students with a strong propensity for Mathematics and Computer Science who are interested in building software systems with AI capabilities.
It has been developed to provide the knowledge and skills needed to meet an increasing demand for professionals able to generate and apply these new technologies. In addition, students will gain broad knowledge and an experience of computing beyond machine learning, as well as the interdisciplinary awareness needed to apply computer science to other fields, such as the life sciences. They will also be guided in developing an understanding of important ethical issues in computing.
