The course started in the academic year 2016 – 2017. You can find its regular syllabus on its official school page. The course applies project-based learning in order to provide students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in academic research, design and development theories and methodologies for healthcare solutions. This academic year, many of the student projects are related to AI technologies addressing COVID-19 pandemic challenges.
