PRG.AI MINOR

Elevate your degree – engage with the AI industry

Would you like access to a carefully crafted selection of top courses from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and the Faculty of Information Technology at the Czech Technical University and the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics and the Faculty of Social Sciences at Charles University?

Are you eager to extend your technical knowledge and skills? Do you also want to understand the ethical and security implications of artificial intelligence and machine learning and how they are applied in practice?

Do you seek to learn from some of the best academics and practitioners and become part of a broad AI community? Do you appreciate the importance of building your professional network?

If you’re tech-savvy, have an inquisitive mind and study at CTU or CUNI, prg.ai Minor is for you!

Your prg.ai Minor journey

March

Time to apply!
You will be selected by one of the four guarantors (see below) representing their respective faculty on the basis of your:
→ grades in compulsory courses from your home faculty study programme
→ extra-curricular activities (these can also compensate for lower grades)
→ personal and professional motivation for enrolling into prg.ai Minor

April

You will be notified if you have been accepted. If not, we encourage you to apply again next year.

June

If accepted, you will be invited to a kick-off meeting to get to know other students and learn more about the programme.

Individual prg.ai Minor experience

Your prg.ai Minor journey begins as soon as you are accepted. You can start studying in the winter semester or defer to a future semester. But you can attend Industry Talks right away! 

You can be a Bachelor or a Master student and hence the programme duration varies, but it usually takes about two years.

Compulsory requirements:

  • Select courses in four out of six thematic blocks (see below, but CoreML and CoreSYMB are mandatory). The selected courses must come from at least three faculties.
  • Pass at least one course of your choice in each of the four blocks. 
  • Attend at least two prg.ai Minor Industry Talks every academic year.
  • Complete your regular degree.

What are prg.ai Minor Industry Talks?

These are regular, informal presentations that take place in company settings. Experienced practitioners from first-class technology companies openly share know-how and ways to apply ML/AI in the real world. The presentations are followed by networking with company reps and fellow prg.ai Minor students and alumni.

But there’s more you can do!

  • Take courses beyond the compulsory ones
  • Attend as many Industry Talks as your calendar allows
  • Exploit opportunities provided by prg.ai and its industry members and partners (Bachelor and Master theses, internships, events and more)
  • Benefit from collaborating and sharing as a member of a student and alumni community

Graduation

Once you successfully complete your regular degree and comply with compulsory prg.ai Minor requirements, you are invited to a ceremony where you receive your graduation certificate, attended by representatives of the universities and the City of Prague.

Is graduation the end of the journey?

Definitely not. You remain part of the prg.ai Minor family and the broader AI community.
