Artificial Intelligence (MSc)

What does this master’s programme entail?

Artificial intelligence techniques are capable of making incredibly accurate predictions on the basis of data they themselves have gathered. In other words, computers can learn without intervention once they have been pre-programmed by humans. In this specialisation we explore the borders of what a revolutionary new generation of Artificial Intelligent algorithms can achieve. The specialisation also deals with applications of these algorithms to sieve out knowledge from data that is hard to extract for humans, and to search for the best combination of a variety of factors in some production process.

Artificial Intelligence: the right master’s programme for you?

Do you want to know more deep and reinforcement learning methods, understanding the principles of evolutionary computation and its application for optimization algorithms? Do you like to discover data from complex data, fine tune a computer to learn and solve unsolvable problems so that it can learn without human intervention? Then the master’s specialisation in Artificial Intelligence is the right choice.
