Presentation
The Bachelor’s Degree in Artificial Intelligence (Grado en Intelixencia Artificial) addresses the growing global demand for specialists in intelligent computing systems.
Students study foundational and advanced topics in:
- Artificial intelligence methods such as machine learning, reasoning, and knowledge representation
- Intelligent information systems and their practical implementation
- Data handling and processing, including big data techniques
- Human‑computer interaction, perception, and real‑time intelligent systems
The curriculum is interuniversitary in Galicia, with the first two years of courses common across the region’s universities and the latter years specialized at UVigo with a focus on Intelligent Information Systems (Sistemas de Información Inteligentes).
Graduates are prepared for careers in areas such as:
- AI and machine learning engineering
- Data science and analytics
- Intelligent system design and deployment
- Software development for AI applications
- Automation, robotics, and human‑computer interfaces
Their training equips them to work in both industry and research contexts where intelligent technologies are developed or applied.
Main Objective
The programme provides broad, deep, and multidisciplinary training to prepare professionals capable of designing, developing, and applying intelligent systems and services that are increasingly impacting diverse areas of society and technology — from automation and data analysis to decision‑making and human‑machine interaction.
