The programme is developed and delivered under European Union‘s Digital Europe Programme Project no. 101123289.
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to transform industries and revolutionize the way we live and work, the next frontier in AI development is about understanding human emotions and behaviour and harnessing this knowledge to create more intuitive and empathetic systems that can improve standards of living. The intersection of AI and emotions is a rapidly growing field that requires expertise in both human-centred design and artificial intelligence.
The EIT Digital master's programme in Artificial Intelligence and Emotion AI combines these two areas of expertise to provide the innovative skills and comprehensive knowledge needed to design and develop emotionally intelligent AI systems. By understanding AI fundamentals and the nature of human emotions and behaviour, you will be able to create AI systems that are more intuitive, empathetic, and user-friendly, and that can enhance human well-being and quality of life.
Key benefits
In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the intersection of human emotions and artificial intelligence (AI) has become a critical area of focus. As AI systems increasingly permeate our daily lives, the need for professionals who can design, develop, and implement emotionally intelligent technologies has never been more pressing.
The following professions represent a range of exciting and in-demand career paths that combine expertise in AI, human emotions, and innovative problem-solving to create a more compassionate and effective technological future.
- Human-Centered AI Designer
- Emotion AI Consultant
- AI Developer
- AI Research and Development Manager
Unlock new career opportunities
Careers in data science are simply exploding. You will leave this programme having the knowledge and skills needed to unlock a range of career opportunities. Our graduates can be found working in open innovation settings and leading technology companies. Some have even gone on to launch their own successful start-ups and consultancies.
Is this programme for me?
Our Artificial Intelligence and Emotion AI Master’s programme is open to applicants with either a Bachelor of Science degree or who are in their final year of study in:
- Computer Science
- Information Systems
- Mathematics
- Electrical Engineering
Applicants with a background in psychology, cognitive sciences and other relevant disciplines, and with reasonable knowledge of the fundamentals of computing and information sciences and technologies may also be considered. In some circumstances, relevant work experience may compensate for a lack of relevant degree. Such work experience should be justified in your letter of motivation.
How is the programme structured?
All EIT Digital Master School programmes follow the same scheme:
- Students study one year at an ‘entry’ university and one year at an ‘exit’ university.
- The first year is similar at all entry points, with a focus on basic courses that lay the foundation for the chosen technical programme. Students are introduced to business and management during this first year. During the second semester, a design project is combined with business development exercises to demonstrate how technology can be transformed into a successful business with optional elective courses. Students are taught how to prepare and present a convincing business plan.
- In between the first year and the second year, students participate in the EIT Digital 2-week Summer School programme that addresses business opportunities within a socially relevant theme.
- The second year offers a specialisation and a graduation project. The graduation project includes an internship at a company or a research institute and cumulates with a Master thesis having a strong innovation and entrepreneurship dimension.
- Graduates receive degrees from the two universities and a certificate awarded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.
