First of the kind: AI and Data Analytics (AIDA)
Global pioneer in AI education
In September 2022, we became the first university in the world to introduce AI education as a compulsory requirement for all undergraduate students.
At the same time, we also became the first university in the world to offer a 36 credit secondary major in AI and Data Analytics (AIDA) to students enrolled in a large number of programmes.
- General University Requirements (2 credits)
- Secondary Major (36 credits)
- Minor Study (18 credits)
Students' Sharing
Our unique AIDA study paths have opened up more possibilities for students with a disciplinary and flexible learning, fully unlock their potential.
At first, I didn't really know much about AI or data analytics, but after taking the AIDA programme, I realised how much AI is already part of our daily lives, like with instant translation tools. That really inspired me to try something new.

AI serves not only as a tool in my research but as a core driver for innovating design methodologies and solving complex engineering problems.
