Lead at the intersection of data & business with a master’s in analytics and AI
The Master in Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (MAAI) prepares you to bridge the worlds of business, data, and AI to improve strategic decision making. You will work on real business challenges that sharpen your analytical thinking, strengthen your technical fluency, and develop your ability to turn insights into strategic action.
Rather than mastering tools and models, you will explore how AI and data influence organizations and society. You will learn to evaluate bias, transparency, and accountability in data-oriented decisions and to apply analytics responsibly in real business contexts.
With the widest range of electives across all ESMT master programs, the MAAI lets you design a learning journey that reflects your interests, connects disciplines, and keeps you adaptable as technology and industries evolve.
Applications for the MAAI starting September 2027 are now open.
