European Master in Computational Logic (EMCL)

In the first year students spend the first semester at the Technische Universität Dresden, Germany and the second semester at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. Courses aim at introducing students with the foundations of computational logic, but advanced courses can be selected as well.

In the second year students specialise in computational logic areas by selecting one of the four partner universities. The second year, in addition to the thesis, includes a project and advanced courses.

The Computer Science Degree Hub characterizes a career in computational logic and artificial intelligence as involving automation, robotics, advanced knowledge representation systems, and the use of sophisticated computer software and programs. Candidates interested in pursuing jobs in this field require specific education based on foundations of formal methods, information technology, logic, and computer engineering perspectives.

Written and verbal communication skills are also important to convey how artificial intelligence tools and services are effectively applied within industry settings. From its inception in the 1950’s through the present day, computational logic and artificial intelligence continues to advance and improve the quality of life across multiple application areas.
As a result, professionals with the right skills to translate digital bits of information into meaningful human experiences can find a career in computational logic and artificial intelligence to be sustaining and rewarding. The EMCL programme is designed to let graduates acquire these skills. The EMCL has graduated since its beginning in 2004 more than 150 students, with virtually full employment after graduation; more than 100 EMCL graduates are currently working in academia or research.
