Curriculum
The advanced specialisation course is dedicated to the adoption of artificial intelligence in organisations and to the tools that make it possible to apply it in different business areas. The programme includes two compulsory modules, one on artificial intelligence solutions and the foundations of generative AI and one on content creation, data analysis and support for creativity, and two modules chosen from five options: Operations and Supply Chain, Marketing and Customer Experience, human resources, procurement and innovation. Regulatory compliance, cybersecurity and data protection are also covered, aspects that are essential for a responsible use of these technologies. The modular structure makes it possible to build a path suited to one's role, because alongside the common content on artificial intelligence and generative AI one can explore applications in the business functions closest to one's own work, with examples, tools and cases that show benefits, risks and conditions for adoption.
The programme lasts seven months and is organised in four modules, with two consecutive days per month. The mode is blended: attendance is planned in person in Milan, with the possibility of following lessons also online by live streaming. Teaching balances theory and practice, uses real case studies and testimonials from companies and involves industry experts, with attention to the transferability of knowledge. The information available does not state the hours of lessons, the credits, the start date, the enrolment deadline, the maximum number of participants or any scholarships or internships. The cost is not made public. The possibility of following lessons in person or online live makes the course accessible even to those who live far from Milan, while the two consecutive days per month reduce the impact on work and leave time to try out what has been learned between sessions.
The aim is to give graduates, managers and professionals the skills to lead transformation projects based on artificial intelligence, choosing the tools best suited to their field. To enrol, a bachelor's or master's degree, or an equivalent foreign qualification, is required. Related professions include the AI specialist, the digital innovation consultant, the digital marketing director, the artificial intelligence expert, the corporate trainer and the innovation manager. The structure with optional modules makes it possible to steer the path towards the business function closest to one's own work. Testimonials from companies and experts, together with case studies, offer a concrete view of how artificial intelligence is introduced into processes, of organisational difficulties and of governance choices, and help develop a critical and aware vision, not limited to knowledge of individual tools.
