Master in Artificial Intelligence for Science and Technology

The master’s degree course in Artificial Intelligence for Science and Technology is jointly organised by the University of Milan, the University of Pavia and the University of Milano-Bicocca, its administrative headquarters. Taught in English, it is specifically designed to train master’s degree graduates specialising in advanced aspects of the theoretical foundations, techniques, methodologies and ways of using artificial intelligence in complex applications. Students are provided with extensive specialised training focused on the areas of computer science, mathematics, physics and statistics, giving them a thorough understanding of the theoretical aspects and advanced techniques of artificial intelligence and its use in science, industry and technological innovation. They will also receive the necessary training both in the organisational/management field, to understand, manage and integrate information and communication technologies in the company, and in the legal field, to understand the constraints that limit the socially acceptable use of artificial intelligence. The course also provides an opportunity for the students to supplement their general specialist training with further knowledge and skills needed to apply artificial intelligence in specific areas (industrial automation, environmental monitoring, embedded systems, biomedical and health systems, modelling of complex systems, systems for physics and quantum technologies).

The The AI4ST Master’s degree programme is open to all eligible students (there is no cap on enrolment). It is a two-year programme, and requires students to earn 120 credits to obtain their degree. Students holding a Bachelor's degree course who have completed 30 credits in science, and with Englishlanguage proficiency at or above a B2 level, are eligible for admission.

In either the first or second year, students complete a set of educational activities (36 credits) geared toward testing their knowledge and understanding in one of the areas of concentration contemplated by the programme, such as industrial and environmental applications, embedded smart systems, signal and image processing for use in healthcare and the environment, modelling complex systems and quantum technologies.

Bicocca is a young university that will connect you with students from all over the world. You will not just be a student here. You will be a member of the global community.
