Course content

“DRIVE THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS WITH AI!”

Programme presentation:

The rapid growth and adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have transformed industries and generated significant economic value. However, many businesses struggle to adopt AI effectively, as they lack the right talent to integrate AI within their business strategies and processes. This talent gap has created a demand for professionals who can bridge the gap between AI technology and business applications.

The MSc Artificial Intelligence for Business is designed to train professionals who can create, manage and implement AI solutions within organisations. This programme will equip graduates with the necessary skills to become leaders in the AI industry and create a competitive advantage for their organisations by offering a specialised curriculum that combines AI technology, business management, and practical applications.

Programme objectives:

The MSc Artificial Intelligence for Business aims to produce high-quality, technically competent and innovative graduates with the essential knowledge to understand the impacts, design, application and operationalisation of AI solutions in business contexts.

Upon completion of this programme, graduates will be able to:

• Demonstrate a critical understanding of the use of AI in business contexts.
• Formulate, design, assess, and implement AI-enabled business strategies based on the latest industry practices and standards to enhance human potential and customer support.
• Select and employ advanced, emerging AI techniques and tools to enhance business decision-making.
• Synthesise and communicate the opportunity of AI to enhance the business strategy to key stakeholders.
• Critically assess and evaluate ethical, sustainable, and responsible risks and impacts associated with AI solutions in business contexts.

Loans

- Student bank loans

Banks grant loans at a preferential rate of about 1% to students attending Grandes Ecoles, as long as you have a guarantor. We organise a “banking fair” at the beginning of each school year on our campuses, attended by representatives of around a dozen banks who you can meet to arrange a loan.

- Government-backed student loans

The government has set up a student loan guarantee fund in partnership with certain banks (Société Générale, Crédit Mutuel, C.I.C , Banque Populaire and certain Caisses d’épargne). They can offer a maximum loan of €15,000 to all students up to 28 years old, be they French, or citizens of the E.U. or the European Economic Area, regardless of income or parental/third-party guarantees.

The interest rate is set by the bank. The possibility of partially or totally deferring your repayments until you graduate is also at the discretion of the student borrower. Learn more by asking the banks on this programme.
