International Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence

Program Overview

The International Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence (IBSAI) is a three-year undergraduate program offered by Paris Sciences et Lettres (PSL) University in Paris, France, as part of the Paris School of AI. Taught entirely in English, the program combines mathematics, computer science, and artificial intelligence to prepare students to understand, develop, and apply AI technologies. It benefits from the combined expertise of PSL member institutions, connecting academic education with advanced research, technological innovation, and international collaboration.

Curriculum and Learning Objectives

The curriculum provides a strong foundation in mathematics, algorithms, databases, machine learning, and computer science, alongside interdisciplinary subjects such as economics, law, climate, and the societal implications of artificial intelligence. Students develop advanced knowledge of AI algorithms and their applications, including computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics. Specialized courses are introduced during the second and third years.

Teaching emphasizes active learning, collaborative projects, research-based education, and practical applications. Students participate in team projects addressing challenges in areas such as healthcare, environmental sustainability, and education. The program also includes a summer school between the second and third years, collaboration with partner companies and laboratories, lectures by international experts, and research internships at PSL-affiliated laboratories or partner institutions.

Admission Profile and Career Opportunities

The program is designed for students with a strong interest in mathematics, computer science, and emerging technologies. Applicants are expected to have a strong mathematical background, advanced English proficiency at C1 level, analytical abilities, problem-solving skills, and motivation. Applications are assessed based on academic performance, language skills, and motivation.

Graduates develop knowledge and skills suitable for further studies at leading universities and employment opportunities in artificial intelligence and related fields. The program is designed to support progression to at least master’s-level studies.
