Presentation

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that combines mathematics, statistics, computer science, communications and many other disciplines to develop systems capable of learning, reasoning and solving problems autonomously. Its enormous impact spans all sectors, from health and industry to banking and research, making it one of the most disruptive and essential technologies of the 21st century.

In a world where automation, data analysis and intelligent decision-making are the basis of technological and economic development, artificial intelligence specialists play a key role in creating innovative solutions and are among the most sought-after professionals in the labour market.

AI includes burgeoning areas such as machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing and system optimisation, contributing to the advancement of society and industry.

AI-driven digital transformation is accelerating the development of autonomous systems, virtual assistants, cognitive robotics, Big Data, predictive technologies and diagnostic tools, to name a few. On the other hand, the responsible use of AI poses urgent ethical and legal challenges, which require professionals trained to address them with a critical and multidisciplinary vision.

The Bachelor's Degree in Artificial Intelligence, taught in English and Spanish, is designed to train professionals with the ability to use advanced AI techniques to address and solve complex problems in the business and organisational sphere, contributing to the development of innovative solutions that generate added value.

Its programme includes basic foundations in mathematics, statistics, information and communication technologies, and allows you to delve into key areas such as machine learning, knowledge representation, massive data management, optimisation, natural language processing and artificial vision, with a comprehensive focus on ethics and social impact.

With this multidisciplinary training, the Bachelor's Degree in Artificial Intelligence offers a solid theoretical and practical basis to face the technological challenges of the future in areas such as medicine, finance or robotics and generate a positive impact on society and the economy.

Mobility

  • Mobility

    Exchange programs

    The Erasmus programme permits UC3M first degree and post graduate students to spend one or several terms at one of the European universities with which UC3M has special agreements or take up an Erasmus Placement, that is a work placement or internship at an EU company. These exchanges are funded with Erasmus Grants which are provided by the EU and the Spanish Ministry of Education.

    The non-european mobility program enables UC3M degree students to study one or several terms in one of the international universities with which the university has special agreements. It also has funding from the Banco Santander and the UC3M.

    These places are offered in a public competition and are awarded to students with the best academic record and who have passed the language threshold  (English, French, German etc..) requested by the university of destination.

Profile and career opportunities

  • Entry profile

    Entry profile

    The majority of students who are admitted to this degree come from the Baccalaureate in Science and Technology, where they obtain specific training in these fields, which develops knowledge and skills and prepares students better to access to these studies. According to Spanish regulations, students must take core subjects such as: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Technical Drawing, and Technology and Engineering.

    In addition to Baccalaureate students, another main access route to the Bachelor's Degrees is coming from Vocational Training studies.

    Aplication for a place in the degree

  • Graduate profile

    Graduate profile

    The Bachelor's Degree in Artificial Intelligence arises from a social need for Artificial Intelligence professionals, who must have in-depth basic training in its fundamentals, with the ability to analyse, develop and use the different existing AI techniques, evaluate their applications in organisations, and manage their ethical implications:
