Executive Master in Artificial Intelligence for Business Professionals

Overview
Do you work with Artificial Intelligence and want to translate it into real organisational impact? This programme is designed for you.
AI now shapes work across sectors. The challenge for professionals is linking methods and data to measurable outcomes, while staying aligned with ethical and regulatory requirements. That balance runs through every stage of the programme.
The Executive Master in Artificial Intelligence for Business Professionals is a 16-month, part-time programme delivered online, with two evening sessions per week (19:00–21:30 CET). It combines core foundations with applied work and guided practice.
The curriculum covers traditional and generative AI models, adoption across business functions and sectors, organisational design for AI, governance, risk and regulation, and the wider human and societal context.
Learning is hands-on: challenges, casework, bootcamps, AI Horizons talks, the AI Innovation Forum and a final project anchored in a real organisational setting. .
