Four New Tech-driven Master Degree Programs at USI

(Università della Svizzera Italiana, June 06, 2017)

All having a critical focus on human thought and technological developments, the Università della Svizzera italiana (USI) launches four new Master degree programs starting in fall 2017. The university in Lugano newly offers the first Master in Artificial Intelligence. As AI is becoming ubiquitous and all important players in the technology sector are making massive investments into it, USI decided to build on its thirty years of experience in AI research, and create the first Swiss graduate program solely focusing on AI. The new Master in Financial Technology and Computing, also the first of its kind in the country, aims at combining Finance with programming, in a world in which major financial activities are handled by digital technologies. Through digitalization processes, software and data processing are infiltrating all sectors. Hence, USI is offering a new degree in Software & Data Engineering. The last Master program is in Philosophy, focusing on either Mind, Language, and Society, or Mind, History, and Literature.
