Program outline
Introduction – Fundamentals of Data and AI (3 weeks). Build your foundation: understand how data and AI work, what the key concepts are, and how organisations use them. The starting point for everything that follows.
Data and Analytics (12 weeks). Turn raw data into clear insights. You learn to work with Excel, Power BI, and SQL – and present your findings in a way that actually lands with stakeholders.
Data Science (12 weeks). Learn to build predictive models with Python and machine learning. From data preparation to deploying models that make real decisions – including a hands-on final assignment.
Data Engineering (12 weeks). Design and build the infrastructure that makes data useful. You work with SQL, Azure, and modern data stack tools to create reliable pipelines and scalable architectures.
Applied AI (12 weeks). Put AI to work. You master prompt engineering, build AI agents, and learn to develop AI strategies that create real business value – not just demos.
AI Engineering (12 weeks). Go deep on building production AI systems. RAG pipelines, LangChain, Azure AI – you build end-to-end AI applications that are ready to deploy in the real world.
AI Literacy and Responsible AI (3 weeks). Close the programme with a critical perspective on AI in society. You explore the EU AI Act, AI ethics, and what it means to deploy AI responsibly.
Internship (6 weeks). Apply everything you have learned in a supervised real-world project at an ADA partner company. This is where theory becomes professional experience.
