Master in Artificial Intelligence: Technologies, Models and Applications

The second-level master in Artificial Intelligence: Technologies, Models and Applications trains specialists able to develop and apply artificial intelligence systems in organisations. The page does not provide a detailed programme, but mentions advanced algorithms, management of complex data, end-to-end project management and the integration of artificial intelligence in companies, with a programme that combines theoretical foundations and applications. Artificial intelligence is a broad discipline, combining statistics, computer science, optimisation and domain knowledge. The master aims to train specialists able to choose the most suitable models, to manage complex data and to bring solutions into production, with an end-to-end perspective that includes framing the problem, development, verification and integration into business processes.

The overall load is 855 hours, divided into 480 hours of lectures, 375 hours of project work or internship and individual study. The format is blended, with lessons concentrated on Fridays and Saturdays, in person and online, and a final project work with partner companies. The master lasts one year, is part time, takes place in Turin with the possibility of following online and is in Italian: for non-Italian candidates the C2 level is required. The cost is €20,000. The page does not give the credits, the calendar, the start dates and the enrolment deadlines. The final project work with partner companies is the moment when skills are applied to a real case: participants work on a problem posed by the company, with real data and constraints, and present usable results. The 375 hours devoted to this activity, together with the 480 hours of lessons, indicate a programme in which practice carries significant weight.

The aim is to train artificial intelligence specialists, AI engineers, AI researchers and complex systems analysts. The master is aimed at master's graduates in the scientific and technological areas, and is suited to professionals who wish to retrain, but also to young graduates who want to enter the sector. The presence of partner companies in the project work offers the opportunity to work on real problems and to build professional relationships. The Polytechnic University of Turin is ranked 241st in the 2025 QS world rankings. The cost of €20,000 must be weighed against each person's career goals. The concentration of lessons on Fridays and Saturdays makes the master compatible with a job, but requires consistent attendance throughout the year. The requirement of a master's degree in science or technology guarantees a homogeneous base, useful for tackling the advanced content, and the C2 level of Italian required of non-Italians is particularly high.
