The British University in Dubai (BUiD) launched its newly enhanced Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence which builds on the foundation of the previously offered MSc in Informatics. This strategic evolution reflects BUiD’s ongoing commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and alignment with emerging global and national trends in technology.

With AI rapidly reshaping industries and career paths, this new programme equips students with a competitive edge in the evolving job market. It offers hands-on, interdisciplinary training in core areas such as machine learning, data science, intelligent systems, robotics, natural language processing, and AI ethics. Students gain practical knowledge and experience that are in high demand across diverse key sectors including finance, healthcare, logistics, education, and smart cities—all of which are increasingly driven by AI-powered solutions.

Professor Abdullah Alshamsi, Vice Chancellor of BUiD, commented on the significance of the launch: “At BUiD, we are committed to aligning our academic offerings with national priorities such as the UAE Strategy for Artificial Intelligence. By transforming our MSc in Informatics into a dedicated MSc in AI, we are not only updating our curriculum—we are empowering our students to lead in a world increasingly shaped by intelligent technologies. This programme will prepare graduates not only for today’s workforce but also for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow.”

With the launch of the MSc in Artificial Intelligence, BUiD continues to reinforce its position as a leader in future-focused education. The programme gives graduates the skills they need to succeed in fast-growing industries and supports the UAE’s goals for a more advanced, tech-driven economy.
