Human-Centred AI Master's at BME VIK
Curriculum of the Human-Centred AI Supplementary Master's
The human-centred approach to artificial intelligence (AI) aims to ensure that social and individual considerations (ethical, legal, safety, reliability, interpretability, data protection, etc.) and values play a central role in the development, implementation, use, and oversight of AI systems.
The 60-credit Human-Centred AI Supplementary Master's Program is designed to train engineering professionals with advanced knowledge, who are aware not only of the opportunities of AI but also of its potential risks. They are familiar with the ethical and legal requirements of AI applications and continuously take human aspects into account in the design, development, and application of AI systems and services. Graduates of the program will be capable of performing and coordinating research and development tasks in the field, participating in both basic and applied research, and continuing their studies in a PhD program.
The curriculum includes foundations in natural sciences, ethics and law, as well as professional knowledge in computer science, complemented by compulsory and elective courses, and additional knowledge in economics and the humanities.
Among BME VIK students, those enrolled in the Master’s program in Computer Engineering, especially those specializing in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, Software Development, or Visual Informatics, as well as those pursuing the UX and Interaction minor specialization, are in an advantageous position. This is because they can fulfill a significant portion of the program requirements through courses included in their specialization. Other students at VIK and BME may also obtain the diploma supplement for completing the Human-Centred AI Supplementary Master's Program, provided that they choose and complete the required subjects listed in the linked table as electives.
Another requirement for fulfilling the program is that the student’s second-semester project laboratory and their two-semester thesis must be AI-themed and address human-centred aspects in sufficient depth.
Admission to the Human-Centred Supplementary AI Master Program:
