Aim of the programme

Artificial Intelligence has already become an integral part of our society, influencing more and more aspects of our lives. Nevertheless, scientists believe that the AI revolution is just getting started, and that it will eventually leave an even deeper impression on humanity than, e.g., the Industrial Revolution. For example, AI has the potential to improve healthcare, make agriculture more efficient, optimise production systems or increase the safety of citizens. Companies, hospitals and other organisations want to employ AI, but often lack properly trained staff. The new Postgraduate Certificate: Artificial Intelligence in Business and Industry aims to give engineers, computer scientists and other professionals the opportunity to specialise in this field.

The programme has been designed with a specific need in the job market in mind: many current employees in for example R&D divisions of leading companies are highly skilled but did not receive specific training on AI in their formal education. Perhaps you, too, experience the need to bring your AI-skills up to date and are looking for a qualitative AI course to do that? This postgraduate training allows professionals to acquire in one year a solid academic knowledge of artificial intelligence, as well as insight into the domains of image and language (computer vision/NLP) and business aspects of AI.

The postgraduate programme Artificial Intelligence in Business and Industry stands firmly on its own, but also opens the door to more. Participants can choose to follow a follow-up track into the Advanced Master AI in Business and Industry (to be launched in September 2022, pending approval), where they gain access to the wider range of in-depth, broadening and, in particular, more applied modules. The courses offered in the postgraduate programme form an integral part of the Advanced Master Artificial Intelligence in Business and Industry, and participants who pass the courses in the postgraduate programme will be granted exemptions when following the rest of the master’s programme.
