Introduction
Master’s Degree in Artificial Intelligence for Science & Technology (Joint Degree)
The MSc Artificial Intelligence for Science & Technology is jointly offered by the University of Milan-Bicocca, University of Milan Statale, & University of Pavia entirely in English.
The master’s program offers a 360-degree and inter-disciplinary approach to studying artificial intelligence. Students will learn to apply AI effectively in the pursuit of innovative solutions within the fields of science and technology.
Over the course of their studies, they will tackle advanced issues in computer science, mathematics, statistics, and physics, whilst gaining an understanding of business administration, management, and the legal aspects of AI, which are then immediately put into practice through one of the individual tracks of study.
Classroom and laboratory work will take place at each of the three campus locations, and be taught in English, to foster a genuine international academic environment, and to prepare students for professional work on a global level.
