Postgraduate Diploma in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

The Postgraduate Diploma in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is an advanced program tailored for graduates and professionals seeking to deepen their expertise in next-generation intelligent systems. Unlike narrow AI, which focuses on task-specific applications, AGI aims to build adaptive, general-purpose intelligence capable of learning and reasoning across diverse domains.

This program integrates advanced machine learning, cognitive science, computational neuroscience, robotics, and ethics, while also engaging students in applied research and critical debates about the future of intelligence. Participants will develop the technical, analytical, and ethical competencies required to contribute meaningfully to the rapidly evolving AGI field.

Course Duration
The Postgraduate Diploma spans 12 months, including intensive coursework, research-based assignments, and a final applied or research project.

Program Format: Online, Hybrid
