The Master corresponds to a total amount of 60 ECTS, distributed across all the courses, as described in the Curriculum section.

The total tuition fees for the Master in future courses will be approximately 19.000 €. For the 2023-2024 edition, tuition fees will be 9.600 euros, given the fact that part of the creation of materials and support for some lecturers are being funded by the CEF-Telecom programme. A small additional charge will be required for the administrative costs of diploma generation once the course is completed (approximately 200 euros). The fee can be paid in up to three instalments. Furthermore, we will offer grants of up to 1.920 euros (20% of the total cost) to approximately 10 students, so that part of their tuition fees are covered.

If you register before our early-bird registration deadline (February 28th, 2023) and you are accepted into the Master by the academic commission, you will be entitled to a 20% discount in the total fee. In order to secure your position, you will be required to provide an advance non-reimbursable payment of a 20% of the total fee (1920 euros) during March 2023

We will ask students to participate in three physical events in European cities (including at least Madrid and Milan), of a weekend each. They will be scheduled early during the course (October 2023), early in 2024 and by the end of the Master. You will only be expected to pay for your travel costs. Your accommodation, food costs, etc., will be fully covered by the master.

Upon the successful completion of all the activities in the Master you will receive a transcript of your grades in all courses from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and a joint diploma from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and Politecnico di Milano.

You will be awarded a joint title from UPM and PoliMi that corresponds to a Master of 60 ECTS. More particularly, in the Spanish system this corresponds to a "Máster (título propio) por la UPM" and in the Italian system it would correspond to a "master di primo livello da PoliMi".

Up to 40 students will be selected.

The educational methodology of the Master is centered around project-based learning. Therefore, there will be some tests during the first modules and continuous checkpoints by mentors during the courses, including oral presentations, and especially during the activities associated to the different projects.

We assume that most of the students will be working while they take part in the Master, and hence most interactive activities will be done on Tuesday and Friday evenings. That said, we expect students to be able to finish the Master during this academic course, so for this first edition we will only accept those students that are confident in finishing during this academic course. In future editions we may consider part-time options.

There will be a two-stage application process. Firstly, you need to send us a simple application form (see Apply section) with your CV and a letter describing your interest in the Master's course by email (info@ai4gov-master.eu). For the registration a Bachelor's degree on any discipline (not necessarily STEM) is required. The sooner you send it to us, the sooner we will let you know our decision. If you are accepted, you will be redirected to the official UPM registration system, where you will have to fill in your details, you will be asked for proof of your previous qualifications and you will be provided with your payment details.
