Welcome to the Department of Artificial intelligence (AI) Engineering at Near East University.

AI researchers now predict that computers will be able to perform tasks that were once considered the prerogative of human beings. They include tasks such as driving trucks, translating languages, writing high school essays, creating art, analyzing forensic evidence, and even work as a surgeon. Although some of these goals are predicted to happen over several decades, AI is concerned with principles and algorithms that allow researchers to make such bold predictions.  Current methods focus on variants of deep learning-- such as convolutional nets, recurrent nets, autoencoders and adversarial networks-- as well as on the methods of probabilistic graphical models.

The Bachelor’s program in AI engineering at the Near East University is a four-year program fully taught in English. It has been designed to provide international brilliant skills and venues for our outstanding students in the area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) including Machine Learning (ML), Natural Language Processing (NLP), Deep Learning (DL), eXplainable AI (XAI), robotic, process automation, big data and creative technologies, for deployments and implementations in multidisciplinary sectors.

Studying at the AI engineering field is an exciting opportunity at the moment since AI has been chosen in numerous countries as the national priority and it will revolutionize the world, in the coming few years.

Graduated students will have the opportunity to find jobs in several areas including governmental offices, private companies, and Research and Development (R&D) Institutions in order to apply their theoretical and practical learning outcomes. They will also have a unique opportunity towards continuing their academic careers in the same area and apply at the Near East University grad program for AI, and other top tier universities in the globe.
