Understand DSTI academic calendars03 — Criteria
Selection is based on readiness and coherence.
The Executive MSc is not assessed like a first degree. DSTI looks at academic level, professional maturity and the practical value of the programme for your next chapter.
Academic level
Applicants are typically already master’s-level graduates or able to demonstrate equivalent academic readiness through previous studies and professional experience.
Professional experience
A mature professional profile is expected, normally with several years of responsibility and a credible link to AI, data, digital systems or transformation work.
Project coherence
The application should explain why serious AI and digital transformation competence matters for the applicant’s role, organisation or career direction.
English readiness
The programme is taught in English. Applicants should be able to read technical material, follow online content and communicate professionally in English.
Technical foundations
Applicants whose prior studies did not include sufficient mathematics, statistics or IT may be invited to complete an online entry examination or bridging work.
Study rhythm
Because Online asynchronous study is central to the route, applicants should be ready to organise a steady study rhythm alongside professional responsibilities.
