“Rapid advances in artificial intelligence mean that universities must go beyond teaching technologies alone and also develop the capacity to apply them consciously and responsibly.

This master’s programme gives students the opportunity to shape their own learning pathway and grow into professionals who can combine deep expertise, engineering thinking and societal responsibility. Cooperation with Eindhoven University of Technology brings together different academic cultures and best practices, benefiting both students and the wider innovation ecosystem,” said Ingrid Pappel, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs at TalTech.

She was joined by Gert Jervan, Dean of the School of Information Technologies at TalTech:
“This creates an outstanding opportunity for Estonian students to spend one year studying in Brainport Eindhoven, and for Dutch students to spend one year studying in e-Estonia.”

Graduates will receive degrees from both universities, significantly enhancing their international career prospects. Admissions open this summer.

The master’s programme is designed for students with a background in software development and combines computer science with practical, applied artificial intelligence. Each student can tailor their individual study path, while the core focus lies in integrating AI technologies — from large language models to autonomous systems — into real-world software solutions. Students will also gain hands-on experience with tools used by leading technology companies.

According to Gert Kanter, Programme Director, graduates of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence programme will become architects of innovation. By the end of their studies, they will be able to bridge research and practical software development, address industrial challenges, assess the impact of their AI solutions, and ensure their reliability, security and ethical integrity.
