About this program
Bachelor in Creative Technologies & Artificial Intelligence
From setting up reinforcement learning environments in a simulated 3D environment to applied computer vision in XR to deploying fully functional AI solutions with “MLOps”, the Bachelor in Creative Technologies & Artificial Intelligence is a unique blend between multimedia and applied AI.
Fascinated by artificial intelligence, you are determined to join the ranks of the best AI professionals out there. The step from academic studies to the professional world can however be quite challenging.
It does not have to be. Our Bachelor in Creative Technologies & Artificial Intelligence excels because of its hands-on “learn from the professionals” approach:
- Each semester you integrate the previously learned knowledge and skills into a project that solves real world problems.
- You are coached by lecturers and professional researchers who have been or are actively involved in cutting edge AI and XR projects (part- or almost full-time).
- A significant part of the curriculum is offered as a blended learning course to professionals. The latter ensures that the curriculum is relevant to IT professionals and academics as they engage with our professors and lecturers in online and on campus sessions.
Our research into applied AI started back in 2014, focusing on optimizing Big Data pipelines and choosing the right AI Technology for mobility, healthcare and industry 4.0 challenges. This focus on building real world optimized AI solutions is part of the very DNA of the curriculum.

Program content
The Bachelor in Creative Technologies & Artificial Intelligence is all about building and deploying full blown AI solutions. You will learn:
- Which problems are suited for solving with AI
- How to choose the right AI technology
- To build your data pipeline / data lake from both real time sensor data and batch data, structured and non-structured
- Train, develop and optimize AI models and improve their accuracy
- Integrate your AI models in back-end software
- Deploy them in a CI/CD manner with MLops
And there is more! Howest being the “Best game design and development school in the world” combined with its long track record in applied AI and XR research, means that you will also venture into the world of experimental AI and get creative with Multimedia:
- Developing and building simulation (3D) environments in Unity
- Training ML Agents with reinforcement learning in these simulations and collecting data to solve complex problems
- Learning, together with students from our “XR Developer” branch, to integrate advanced computer vision technology in an extended Reality environment.
- Learning how to enhance the behavior of both simulated as physical humanoid robots
This focus on “learning by doing” and “learning from the professionals” approach guarantees that, after successfully finishing this degree, you will be able to develop fully functional, professionally deployed AI solutions.
Program delivery
All students should bring their own laptop with the following minimum requirements: 16GB RAM memory, quadcore processor with virtualization technology (VT) and a 64-bit architecture. You can use your preferred operating system: Windows, Linux or Mac OS X.
There is more to international experience than studying of course.
Together with international students from other departments, you will get the chance to experience “typical” Flemish/Belgian culture including design, comics, European institutions and, of course, chocolate and beer.
We welcome Belgian professionals and students alongside of our international students. The result is an excellent community mix of academic and professional experience and know-how. In order to provide the flexibility our students need, a significant part of the course material is available both online and on campus.
