MASTER (M.SC.)
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

AI is the sweet spot where mathematical minds meet creativity and vision for a better, more efficient world. A Master’s in AI at IU
provides you with key technical knowledge, tools, and training and helps you apply this to practical use cases for innovation or
industry disruption.

The exciting thing about a degree in artificial intelligence? The huge scope of industries you can enter once graduated. You could
move into computer science, automotive, mechanical engineering, healthcare, or even the arts—AI is driving change in nearly all
sectors. With this degree, you’ll not only have the right skills to achieve top-level career positions but also a great understanding
of the social impacts, risks, and business opportunities that AI presents; making you highly attractive to future employers.

At IU, you can select one of four different AI master programmes, including a 120-credit option with specialisations, a shorter
60-credit degree in Artificial Intelligence, or the “Artificial Intelligence for Robotics” and “Artificial Intelligence for Autonomous
Vehicles” both also worth 60 ECTS credits. We offer great flexibility in our courses and in our approach to learning to suit your
style, speed, and interests.

HOW OUR STUDENTS
USE THEIR IU DEGREE

“At IU, the quality of the faculty made the biggest impression on
me. My professors were outstanding, providing well-planned and
interactive lectures from a perspective of strong industry expertise.
Not only that, but the programme itself was very useful to me after
I graduated and took on a role with a German real estate company,
working in a variety of marketing disciplines. IU really equipped me
with all the essentials for formulating strategies and visions for the
marketing campaigns.”

Mei Chi Lo, MBA (International Marketing)

“IU was the right choice for me due to its competitive tuition fee
structure, strategic location, richness in degree modules, post-study
visa option, international faculty, and diverse student body. My MBA
in International Business aided me a great deal in my present role.
Exposure to case-studies of well-known companies and very current
modules in my degree has equipped me with state-of-the art skills.”

Kunal Saigal, MBA (International Business)

“After receiving my MBA from IU, I am eager to watch myself devel-

op into a much stronger, more independent, and fearless girl in the
years to come. I decided to major in marketing because I wanted to
develop the necessary skills to market internationally. I can build a
solid foundation in business, be prepared for a variety of jobs, and
get the added benefit of honing my marketing skills with a market-
ing degree.”
