Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence

The new Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence is an international and inter-university project of the Universities of Milano-Bicocca, Milano Statale and Pavia. Taught entirely in English, the programme will have its administrative headquarters in Pavia, but classes will be held on all three campuses.

The programme trains experts in the theoretical foundations, techniques, methodologies and applications of artificial intelligence, in order to contribute to the diffusion and advancement of knowledge and skills on this subject and its applications, thus promoting technological innovation and fostering the economic and social development of our country. Graduates of the Artificial Intelligence programme will have highly interdisciplinary knowledge and skills.

They will have received solid training in the fundamentals of some areas of computer science, mathematics, physics, statistics and cognitive sciences, with a focus on the theoretical bases and techniques of artificial intelligence. They will also have ethical and legal training as required to understand the constraints that limit a socially acceptable use of these techniques.

In the final phase of training, students will have the opportunity to hone certain subjects at their choice, based on their personal goals, and learn how to apply artificial intelligence to specific areas, such as communication, automation and robotics, cognitive sciences, and physics technologies.

Applicants to the programme must hold an upper secondary school diploma or other qualification obtained abroad and recognized as suitable by the competent University boards.
Other requirements include:

• English language proficiency at a B2 level or higher, in order to understand and participate in training activities;
• Written comprehension, elementary logic, and reasoning skills;
• Knowledge of the fundamentals of mathematics as provided by secondary school, with a focus on first- and second-degree algebraic equations, inequalities and systems, plane analytical geometry, trigonometry and exponential and logarithmic functions.

The student's educational background will be assessed as set out by the programme's Academic Regulations. Any gaps must be filled within the first year of the programme, as set out by the aforementioned Regulations.

You need to complete 180 credit hours to successfully obtain this degree. Please check detail of study units at https://www.unimi.it/en/education/artificial-intelligence

There are several outward mobility agreements in place with international universities. The agreements entered into by the University with many universities from 30 different countries under the European Erasmus+ programme allow students to carry out part of their studies at one of the partner universities or to undertake internships at companies, training and research centres and other organizations.

Outside Europe, the Universities running the programme offer study mobility opportunities under specific agreements signed with prestigious international institutions. Training activities include courses, internships, industrial internships, traineeships and post-graduate internships.
