Program overview
The Artificial Intelligence graduate program falls under the Electronic Information category within Engineering. Simply put, it studies how to make machines see, hear, speak, think, and make decisions like humans. You'll learn core courses like machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning, and you'll also get hands-on with coding, model tuning, and running experiments. Many Chinese universities have strong practical resources in this field—for example, Tsinghua, Peking University, Zhejiang University, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University all have dedicated AI research institutes, and their labs may have GPU clusters for you to train large models. This major suits students with a solid foundation in math and programming, who enjoy tackling complex problems and are curious about new technologies. If your undergraduate background is in computer science, mathematics, statistics, or a related engineering field, you'll find this program a natural fit.
