Artificialintelligenceis reshaping professions at an unprecedented pace. However, accessing high-level training remains a challenge for many professionals, constrained by their work, location or personal commitments.
To address this new reality, aivancity is launching its Online Master of Science in Applied AI and Data Science, a fully distance-learning postgraduate programme that combines academic excellence, flexibility and operational expertise. Designed for both working professionals and recent graduates looking to fast-track their career progression, the programme enables participants to acquire the most sought-after skills in artificial intelligence, data science and the deployment of AI solutions within twelve months, without interrupting their career.
A new way to learn about AI
With this launch, aivancity is acting on a firm belief: excellence in artificial intelligence should no longer be limited by geographical or professional constraints. Available from 1 October 2026, the programme is delivered in a 100% online and asynchronous format, allowing each participant to learn at their own pace, wherever they are in the world, with a tailored workload of 8 to 12 hours per week.
Available in English or in a bilingual French/English format, it meets the needs of an international audience whilst retaining the educational approach that sets aivancity apart: combining technological expertise, business acumen and responsibility.
Excellence in artificial intelligence should no longer be limited by geographical or professional constraints.
Comprehensive expertise, from data to AI systems
The programme is structured around six major skill sets covering the entire artificial intelligence value chain. Participants progressively develop their mastery of data, applied mathematics, machine learning, deep learning, generative AI, data engineering, cloud computing and model deployment practices. Particular attention is paid to the now essential challenges of responsible AI: governance, compliance, ethics, Green AI and societal impact.
A flexible learning approach, where youâre never left to learn on your own
Although the course is delivered entirely online, it is not based on isolated learning. Students benefit from a comprehensive learning environment, combining interactive content, case studies and applied projects. The programme culminates in a Capstone Project, enabling students to develop an end-to-end artificial intelligence solution and build a portfolio that is immediately valuable to recruiters.
