Dubai, United Arab Emirates – The British University in Dubai (BUiD) has launched a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence (MScAI) program, a strategic development of its predecessor, the MSc in Informatics. This update underscores the university's ongoing commitment to academic excellence and innovation, and aligns with accelerating global and national trends in technology.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and its reshaping of industries and career paths, this program provides students with a competitive edge in the changing job market.

Students gain practical knowledge and real-world experience that is highly sought after in vital sectors such as finance, healthcare, logistics, education, and smart cities—all of which increasingly rely on AI solutions.

Professor Abdullah Alshamsi, Director of the British University in Dubai, commented on the importance of this change, saying:
"At the British University in Dubai, we are keen to align our academic programs with national priorities, such as the UAE Strategy for Artificial Intelligence. By transforming the Master of Informatics program into a dedicated Master of Artificial Intelligence, we are not only modernizing the curriculum but also empowering our students to lead in a world where smart technologies are increasingly important. This program will prepare graduates not only for today's job market, but also for the challenges and opportunities of the future."

With the launch of the MSc in Artificial Intelligence, the British University in Dubai continues to cement its position as a leader in future-oriented education. This program provides graduates with the skills needed to succeed in fast-growing sectors and supports the UAE's goals of building an advanced, technology-driven economy.
