Master in DATA SCIENCE AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Data Science and Artificial Intelligence brings together statistical modelling, machine learning, and computer science to study how data can be used to build systems that recognise patterns, make predictions, and support automated decision-making. Typical subjects include probability and statistics, algorithms, machine learning and deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and data engineering, often complemented by coursework on the ethical and societal implications of automated systems. Students learn both the theoretical underpinnings of these methods and the practical skills needed to design, train, and evaluate models using real-world data. Graduates commonly move into roles such as data scientist, machine learning engineer, AI researcher, or data engineer, working across sectors including technology, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and the public sector, where organisations increasingly rely on data-driven tools to improve products and processes. Some graduates continue into further research, contributing to the ongoing development of machine learning and artificial intelligence methods, while others apply their skills directly within engineering or product teams building intelligent applications. This master's program in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence is delivered in English by Universita degli Studi di Trieste, located in Trieste, Italy, over a period of 2 years. As a second-cycle degree, it is aimed at students who already hold a bachelor's qualification, generally in computer science, mathematics, engineering, or a related quantitative field, and who wish to specialise in the computational and statistical methods underpinning modern artificial intelligence. Trieste, a city with a strong scientific research tradition on Italy's northeastern border, provides the setting for this English-taught program.
