Master's Programme in Artificial Intelligence

The Master’s programme in Artificial Intelligence gives broad knowledge in artificial intelligence and deepened knowledge in one of five profile areas of special interest. The profile areas are: theoretical foundations of artificial intelligence, human-AI interaction, intelligent robotics, machine learning, and data science.

Necessary prerequisites for admission to the programme are theoretical knowledge and practical skills regarding algorithmic problem solving, including well-developed programming skills. This is typically acquired through studies in computer science. In addition, prerequisites include courses in mathematics such as numerical analysis, linear algebra and a course in either logics or statistics.

A Bachelor's degree or equivalent first-cycle qualification comprising of at least 180 ECTS or a corresponding qualification from an internationally recognised  university. Specific entry requirements are at least 90 ECTS in the field of Computing Science, Cognitive Science, Mathematics or Mathematical Statistics, or equivalent. Of these, at least 30 ECTS must be in the subject of Computing Science and include courses in Programming Methodology, Data Structures and Algorithms, and at least 22,5 ECTS in the subject of Mathematics including courses in Calculus, Linear Algebra and one course in either Logic or in Statistics. Proficiency in English equivalent to Swedish upper secondary course English B/6.
