Program Overview

Artificial intelligence has become an important part of our society. It has created opportunities to transform existing structures and models in businesses, the public sector, and society. Machine learning, an important component for building AI applications, is gaining popularity in automated decision-making with the availability of large-scale data and affordable infrastructure. With these developments, skilled AI and ML engineers and data scientists are in high demand with a wide range of career opportunities everywhere. The program aims to give fundamental knowledge and practical skills needed to design, build, and apply AI systems in a chosen area of specialization. Designing application that delivers an impact and contributes to sustainable development is an important aspect of the training. Students will undertake projects relevant to one or more Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, these goals are introduced in the elective courses along with the use cases in core courses where AI has had an impact. This graduate program has been developed to fill the gap in the availability of skilled AI scientists and engineers in Nepal. The program will offer rigorous training in the foundations and application-oriented artificial intelligence. Graduates of this program will have explored a variety of domains such as agriculture, healthcare, industry automation and social media to contribute to economies and societies. They will be capable of undertaking careers in the industry as well as academia.
