International Bachelor of Science in AI

3 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

PSL Research University

Program Overview

The International Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence at Université PSL (Paris Sciences et Lettres – PSL Research University) is a three-year, fully English-taught degree designed for students who are excited by mathematics, computing, and the future of intelligent technologies. It’s an ideal choice for analytically strong students who want to understand how algorithms, data, and machine learning come together to build real-world AI solutions in a top research-driven university environment.

Curriculum Structure

Year 1

The first year focuses on building a strong academic foundation. Students study Mathematics for Computer Science, Introduction to Programming, and Fundamentals of Algorithms, developing the logical thinking and coding skills that form the backbone of artificial intelligence. By the end of Year 1, students are confident in mathematical reasoning and computational problem-solving.

Year 2

In the second year, learning becomes more specialised and applied. Students move into Data Structures, Machine Learning, and Computer Vision, exploring how machines can recognise patterns, interpret images, and learn from data. Group projects and hands-on exercises help connect theory with practical AI applications.

Year 3

The final year is about refinement and exploration. Students engage with advanced topics such as Robotics, Natural Language Processing, and Ethics in Artificial Intelligence, while also completing research-oriented projects. This year prepares students for master’s studies, research careers, or entry into the fast-growing AI industry.

Focus Areas

Mathematical foundations, computer science, algorithms, machine learning, computer vision, language processing, robotics, and ethical AI.

Learning Outcomes

Graduates will gain strong mathematical and programming expertise, understand how modern AI systems are designed and trained, apply AI tools to real-world problems, and be fully prepared for advanced study or careers in artificial intelligence and data-driven technology.

Professional Alignment (Accreditation)

The degree is awarded by Université PSL, a French public university. The qualification is a nationally recognised Bachelor of Science (Licence) accredited by the French Ministry of Higher Education and recognised across Europe.
