Key Summary
Introduction
Do you want to shape tomorrow's technological landscape? This master's program provides you with both theoretical frameworks and best practices from the industry.
At this master's program, you will develop a thorough understanding of fundamental concepts in artificial intelligence and data analysis. You will also gain a broad knowledge of various artificial intelligence algorithms, from classical to advanced, and the ability to develop, evaluate, and apply them. The instruction will be conducted in English.
Through courses such as Big Data Systems and Advanced Machine Intelligence and Deep Learning, you will acquire comprehensive knowledge of the software tools used in artificial intelligence algorithms and advanced data analysis. The course Ethics, Sustainability, and Society will provide an in-depth understanding of the ethical aspects related to the development of artificial intelligence algorithms, as well as crucial awareness of sustainability requirements in the field.
Students will be affiliated with the research environment at Kristiania, such as the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (TheAILab), and all research groups at the School of Economics, Innovation, and Technology working within the corresponding field. This includes MOTEL, AISE, SmartSecLab, and other relevant units.
How We Work
The master's program aims to develop both students' technical knowledge (hard skills) and interpersonal skills (soft skills). Your competence is cultivated through activities such as traditional lectures, individual and group presentations, project-based learning, and group/team assignments. These activities also aim to enhance your interpersonal skills, including communication, presentation, collaboration, problem-solving, and project planning/management.
Additionally, we invite you to guest lectures by experts in the field and industry, participation in industry events, as well as workshops and other contexts where guest speakers, external organizations, and industry stakeholders are involved. This provides you with insights into the real world and prepares you well for the demands of the professional environment.
Campus Life
Kristiania is a place where everyone fits in, yet you study alongside others who are equally passionate about the same things as you. An education from Kristiania is practical-oriented. This ensures that our students are sought after in the job market, even before they graduate. Student associations allow for close bonds to be formed over shared interests, while incubators like Loftet and Bryggeriet create a vibrant and inspiring environment for students' own businesses.
