The Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence (AI) prepares students for a wide range of data-centric careers, whether in technology and engineering, consulting, science, and policy-making. The Master in Artificial Intelligence will provide a solid conceptual foundation, a deep understanding through several practical experiences, first with project-based courses and case studies, and then with an internship directly with an industrial partner, which facilitates graduate placement. The program will also foster the development of managerial skills and soft skills through practical real-life scenarios.

Students have the option to choose between two tracks. The research track promotes the development of the scientific component of the student’s training by deepening knowledge and initiation in the research careers. The professional track promotes the development of the student’s training by enhancing knowledge and acquiring deeper hands-on experience.

Students will benefit from LIAT’s strong links with the industry organizations seeking to incorporate these new technologies into their products and services as well as from our world-renowned faculty.

The first semester of the Master’s degree will be devoted to upgrading knowledge and the Intensive English Program (IEP) which are required for successful continuation of studies. The Master’s degree in AI consists of 120 credits and it is required to earn at least 60 credits at each level.

The pedagogy is based on Learning by Doing, focusing on practical work: plenty of coding exercises and guided mini-projects to be completed on your computer during the courses. Students enrolled in the Master’s in AI will build a strong foundation in machine learning, deep learning, generative AI, and data science. Classes feature collaborative activities like online discussions and group projects. Through the Capstone project, you have the opportunity to work innovatively and creatively, applying the skills you have gained to real-world challenges.

Students have access to our world-class Labs (LIAT-AI and LIAT-CySec) and to the state-of-the art equipment, providing them with the optimal environment to develop their operational skills and projects.

Our Master’s in AI continually integrates the latest technological advances and best practices in the industry. We regularly update the curriculum with the new trends and tools, in collaboration with the industry experts. Our students use cutting-edge technologies and participate in professional events organized by LIAT and our industry partners.

Upon completion of this program, students will have professional skills and know-how enabling them to:

• Design AI-based solutions for complex problems
• Master the conceptual, semantic, and algorithmic issues raised by artificial intelligence and data science
• Develop a general and in-depth understanding of various aspects of AI in different fields (banking and finance, transportation, healthcare, telecommunications, etc.)
• Acquire strong theoretical knowledge as well as good practical experience in artificial intelligence and data science
• Evaluate the development and implementation of solutions and applications
• Write a project proposal and communicate results
• Design and develop systems for managing big and heterogeneous data
• Build, evaluate, and interpret analytical and learning models, taking into account the nature of the data
• Program predictive models, deep learning models, and graphical models with Python, and master machine learning frameworks
• Visualize data and illustrate results using programming tools
• Combine business skills with AI expertise
• Master all aspects of AI implementation in companies

Admission is only possible for Master 1 (M1). Learning artificial intelligence at the Master’s level is an ambitious and demanding program. We believe it is best to complete it over two academic years (4 semesters).

Selection is made by reviewing the application package, and if necessary, an interview via video conference or in person. The complete admission procedure is as follows:

• Submit the admission application
• Interview with the admission committee
• Payment of registration fees

Prerequisites

• Holder of a Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in science and technology
