Master in Humanaize

The second-level master in Humanaize is a programme designed for graduates in the humanities who wish to acquire digital skills and work in contexts where technology meets people. The name of the master evokes the idea of humanising artificial intelligence and digital technologies. The programme includes emerging digital technologies, artificial intelligence applied to the social sciences, soft skills and digital hard skills, and builds a bridge between humanistic and technological skills. Humanaize puts forward a clear idea: humanistic skills, such as the ability to interpret contexts, to communicate and to understand people, are valuable in companies that adopt digital technologies and artificial intelligence. The master offers the technical tools to talk to engineers and computer scientists and to take part in digital transformation processes with a recognised role.

Teaching comprises 508 hours of lectures and 350 hours of internship or company project work, for a total of 64 credits. The master is full time, in person at the Lingotto Campus of the Polytechnic University of Turin, lasts one year and is in Italian. The cost is €5,000. The page does not give the start dates, the application deadlines, the number of places, the detailed programme of the modules, the specific language requirements or any information on scholarships. Artificial intelligence applied to the social sciences is a defining theme: participants learn to use data analysis and language processing tools to study social, organisational and cultural phenomena. Digital hard skills are combined with soft skills, such as communication, leadership and change management, needed to lead projects and working groups.

The aim is to train professionals for HR management, change management, consulting, project management and strategic roles in digital transformation. The master is aimed at master's graduates, or those with an equivalent or suitable foreign qualification, in the humanities, with a maximum age of under 35. This is an age requirement that limits access and must be checked in the call for applications. The programme is suited to those coming from philosophy, literature, social sciences, communication and related disciplines who wish to make the most of their education in technological organisational contexts. The Polytechnic University of Turin is ranked 241st in the 2025 QS world rankings, 103rd in the European ones and 12th in those of Southern Europe. The internship and company project work, with 350 hours, make it possible to apply skills in a real context and to build professional relationships. The overall load of 858 hours between lectures and internship, for 64 credits, and full-time attendance make the master an intensive one-year programme, which requires devoting oneself entirely to study and project work.
