Welcome to the Department of Applied Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
At the heart of our Applied Data Science and Artificial Intelligence program is a strong focus on project-based learning — not through toy datasets, but by tackling real challenges from real companies. From the very first year, students collaborate with industry partners on meaningful projects that sharpen their technical skills while building a deep understanding of business needs and impact. This hands-on experience allows our graduates to leave with a rich portfolio of work that goes far beyond grades, giving them a head start when applying for internships or jobs and setting them apart in a competitive tech landscape.
