Bachelor in Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering

At Karadeniz Technical University, tuition is 1,102 USD per year.

Artificial Intelligence and Data Engineering combines the study of algorithms that allow computers to learn from data with the infrastructure needed to collect, store, and process large volumes of information. Coursework covers programming, data structures and algorithms, probability and statistics, and linear algebra as a mathematical foundation, building toward machine learning, neural networks, and the design of data pipelines that move and transform data at scale. Students learn how to prepare and clean datasets, select and train machine learning models, and evaluate model performance, along with the engineering practices needed to deploy and maintain these systems in production settings. Coursework on databases and distributed systems teaches students how large-scale data infrastructure is built, since data engineering is as central to the field as the modeling techniques associated with artificial intelligence. Many programs also address topics such as natural language processing, computer vision, and the ethical considerations that arise when deploying automated decision-making systems. Project-based coursework often has students build and evaluate models on real datasets, giving practical experience with the full pipeline from raw data to a working system. Graduates pursue careers as data engineers, machine learning engineers, data scientists, and AI developers across technology, finance, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors that increasingly rely on data-driven decision making. The combination of engineering rigor and data science skills makes graduates well positioned for a fast-growing segment of the technology industry. This bachelor's program is taught in English over 4 years at Karadeniz Technical University in Trabzon, Turkey. The four-year curriculum builds from foundational programming and mathematics coursework toward specialized machine learning and data engineering coursework in the later years of study.
