Applied Artificial Intelligence

Alma Mater Europaea is proud to offer an immersive and research-focused PhD program in Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our fully accredited program aims to shape the next generation of innovators, researchers, and thought leaders who will drive the future of AI technology.

The Alma Mater's PhD in Applied AI is deeply research-oriented. Doctoral candidates will get an opportunity to work on a variety of projects under the mentorship of our distinguished faculty. Doctoral supervisors include members of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts, which unites two thousand leading scholars, 34 of whom are Nobel Prize winners. 

In this 3-year doctoral program, which will start in October 2024, students intensely work on a research project resulting in an AI application and prepare doctoral dissertations. The program is suitable for both full-time students and those who work. You can study from any time zone or study while working in one of our partner corporations and research labs throughout the European Union. 

Studying is blended with weekly online sessions and intense week-long in-person meetings in Europe and US once per semester. The study language is English.

Our curriculum is designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of AI, including machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, computer vision, robotics, and AI ethics. It is curated by a globally renowned faculty, pioneering research in AI, and is regularly updated to reflect the rapid advancements in the field.

The Applied AI PhD study is open to citizens or residents of any country who have previously completed bachelor's or master's degree studies or equivalent in any discipline, which is typically received after four or five years of higher education. The candidates who do not have a background in Computer Sciences, AI or related fields take introductory training in computer science and applications of AI in areas such as management, economics, public policy, medicine, or others, in the first few months of their studies.
