Bachelor in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science

4 Years On Campus Bachelors Program

La Salle – Universitat Ramon Llull

Program Overview

If you are excited by how technology is shaping the future, this programme is designed for you. The Bachelor in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at La Salle in Barcelona trains you to build intelligent systems, work with real data, and create solutions that impact industries — all in a fully English-taught, international learning environment.

Curriculum Structure

Year 1

You begin by building the core foundations needed for Artificial Intelligence. You study subjects like Probability and Statistics, learning how data behaves and how to interpret it correctly, alongside Computing Infrastructures, where you understand how computer systems, networks, and digital architectures work. This year is about gaining confidence in the technical and mathematical tools that power modern AI.

Year 2

In the second year, you move from foundations to application. You explore Methods for Advanced Data Analysis and Visualization, where you learn to transform complex data into meaningful insights, and Machine Learning, where you train computers to recognise patterns and make predictions. By the end of this year, you start thinking like a data scientist — not just a programmer.

Year 3

The third year takes you deeper into intelligent systems. Through Mathematical Methods for Artificial Intelligence, you apply advanced mathematics to real AI challenges, and in Autonomous Systems and Robotics, you begin developing machines that can sense, decide, and act. This is where your skills evolve from analysing data to creating smart, self-driven solutions.

Year 4

In your final year, everything comes together. You work on advanced projects, often connected with real industry challenges, and prepare for professional practice or further study. Alongside technical mastery, you explore ethical topics in AI — such as privacy, fairness, and responsible innovation — ensuring you graduate as a skilled and thoughtful technology professional.

Focus Areas

Artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, data visualisation, robotics, autonomous systems, computing infrastructures, ethical AI.

Learning Outcomes

By graduation, you will be able to design intelligent systems, analyse and interpret complex datasets, develop AI-driven solutions for real-world problems, and apply technology responsibly in a rapidly evolving digital world.
