The Applied Artificial Intelligence study program aims at equipping students with key theoretical knowledge and enabling them to develop practical skills in various areas of artificial intelligence, including robotics, machine learning, and explainable artificial intelligence. At the beginning of the program, through general and specialized courses in computer science, students acquire the basic knowledge and develop skills needed for work in all areas of information technology that represent the milestone to the development, operation, and understanding of artificial intelligence. The study program allows students to gain practical experience in the design, development, and integration of artificial intelligence in various types of multimedia and security systems, and to work in areas following cutting-edge trends in IT (such as quantum-enhanced machine learning and artificial intelligence, and multi-agent and distributed artificial intelligence systems). Students have the opportunity to learn from professors who are top experts in the field, among whom are five professors who are on the prestigious Stanford University list and belong to the 2% of the best scientists in the world; learning from such experts, students are provided with the opportunity to become competitive in the labor market.
Upon completing undergraduate academic studies, students will have gained knowledge in the field of modern algorithms of artificial intelligence and machine learning; they will have acquired the necessary practical and technical skills required for the design, development, and integration of artificial intelligence in practical environments, and will have been able to work in other areas of information technology. Additionally, students will have gained hands-on experience working with several programming languages and will have also gained experience developing an application and working on distributed and cloud computing systems securely. Furthermore, students will have also gained theoretical knowledge and practical experience in applying basic machine learning models, neural networks, advanced deep learning models, recurrent neural networks, generative adversarial networks, quantum computing, multimodal machine learning, and explainable artificial intelligence techniques. The study program allows students to gain practical experience in the application of these concepts in various fields, such as economics, business, finance, ecology, computer security, robotics, management, transportation, media, and others. Apart from earning the diploma, students can take additional exams and obtain certificates from global IT providers, thus increasing their competitiveness in the labor market.
The program has been created in compliance with the guidelines of the leading organization in the domain of computer education, ACM (Association of Computing Machinery), and elements of all 11 main areas of knowledge defined in the document Computing Competencies for Undergraduate Data Science Curricula. The compatibility of the Applied Artificial Intelligence study program with the stated global standards enables the mobility of students in two directions (horizontally and vertically), both during and upon completing the studies, as well as the recognition of the diploma worldwide. The program is also fully compliant with the Law on Higher Education.
