You've just opened the brochure that will guide you through the !rst steps to becoming the person you want to be. It will give you a detailed view of the IE University student experience and, speci!cally, what life is like as part of the IE School of Human Sciences and Technology. Learn !rsthand about the amazing journey you will embark on over the next four years and the opportunities available to you as an IE student. By the time you're !nished reading, you’ll be one step closer to becoming part of the talented community we are so proud of. YOU’VE GOT A MESSAGE!

DEAR STUDENT,

Welcome to the Bachelor in Computer Science and Arti!cial Intelligence. You are about to embark on an exciting computer-science journey where you will make lifelong memories and friendships, all while transforming your potential as a future disruptive technologist.

Being able to tackle the challenges of the years to come will be essential to humanity. We will witness periods of exponential technological growth, in which human beings and technology will merge. And soon, we will enter a new era that resembles the concept of singularity.

Mimicking human behavior in machines and so"ware, arti!cial intelligence involves the use of intelligent agents that are developed to perceive their environment and carry out actions autonomously. Arti!cial intelligence will be one of the fundamental drivers for the technological leap in the coming decades.

The Bachelor in Computer Science and Arti!cial Intelligence (BCSAI) is a world-class program for forward-thinking, disruptive change-makers who live and breathe technology. It’s for individuals who aspire to design and develop groundbreaking technologies that will reshape industries and businesses.

This degree is the product of close collaboration between a prominent corporation and IE’s School of Human Sciences and Technology. By focusing on the fundamentals of computer science with a strong emphasis on arti!cial intelligence and real-world application, the aim is to provide graduates with a disruptive mindset capable of developing breakthrough AI tools.

The tech-studio approach to learning is an excellent way to develop real disruptive mindsets. And as a result, program graduates can enjoy successful careers in a wide variety of sectors, whether in technology startups, corporations, or global tech industries. When they complete the program, students will be experienced, highly quali!ed computer scientists with the ability to solve complex AI-related challenges.

Alongside the program syllabus, we will introduce a new approach to a technology prototyping experience. BCSAI is the !rst degree with a four-year incubator technology program, based on the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) certi!cation.

Welcome to the Bachelor in Computer Science and Arti!cial Intelligence!

Kind regards,

IE U 8:30 I wake up and carry out my morning routine. It's important to have one if I want to be able to focus for the rest of the day.

10:00 I later head to class and make sure to arrive a few minutes early to ask the teacher questions about the homework and any upcoming projects. I always try to stay active and attentive during a lecture in order to take in all of the content explained and participate in the classroom discussion.

13:00 I normally go to the cafeteria and have lunch and catch up with my friends. Then, I head to the Student Hub and work from there with a few classmates on group projects. This is one of the best places on campus since it is comfortable for us to meet and work without many distractions.

16:00 Once finishing work on a project or any other tasks I may have, I normally go to the supermarket to buy a few essentials (and maybe something to treat myself) and return home. At home, I do some homework, review what was covered in class that day, and prepare any work I need to have ready for the following day.

21:00 At this time, I usually cook dinner, eat, and relax a little. I also take time to talk to my family to tell them about my day. Usually at this point I either quickly finish any work I have left or take a break and procrastinate for a while before finally going to bed.

The reason I like both so much is that they are taught by great professors who are truly passionate about what they teach and who care about their students. Furthermore, the way in which the teachers evaluate us in these classes is not by how much we can memorize, but rather by how well we can apply the concepts we learned in class to both fictional and real-life situations. I know that in these classes I can always go up to the teachers after class and ask them more questions or for any advice and they will gladly give it to me, as well as appreciate my participation in class.
