Programme outline:
- This programme trains professionals who understand the inner workings of AI, its capabilities and its limits, but who also understand the meaningful creation of value for organisations.
- Courses are delivered by SKEMA professors; these mainly focus on AI algorithms, computer programming, IT infrastructure for AI, management of AI and applied projects in data science and AI with our industry partners such as Microsoft.
- Some students in this programme have an engineering background but seek to be trained to meet the specific challenges of managing AI; others have solid managerial training or experience and seek technical skills to truly understand AI.
- We also welcome students who do not match either of these profiles, but who are highly motivated self-learners with a genuine interest in both the technical and managerial aspects of AI.
- We equip students with the practical technical skills and the critical managerial competencies to become effective leaders in the exciting, ever-changing world that AI offers.
Career opportunities:
