MBZUAI opens two undergraduate AI programs

If you are finishing school and planning a career in machine learning and AI, consider an undergraduate degree at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) in Abu Dhabi. Many members of our community already study there in Master's and PhD programs.

The undergraduate school opens for the first time this year with two programs: a BS in AI for Business and a BS in AI for Engineering.

This is a four-year 3+1 program, with the final year spent in an industry internship. An Exceptional Talent track also offers a scholarship covering living costs and tuition of $45,000 per year.

Applications for the undergraduate programs are open on the university's official website until May 31.

If you are applying to the Exceptional Talent Track, you can also contact me for a recommendation that may strengthen your application. Send your CV and motivation, and I will be happy to tell you about the university where I am currently pursuing my PhD.
