This investment includes areas as diverse as technological services; the financial sector; public administration; the culture; the health; the education; telecommunications; the energy; the manufacturing industry; the trade; tourism, among others.

Which is the employability of this course?

Iscte has a high level of employability in all courses and the Degree in Digital Technologies and Artificial Intelligence is expected to be no exception. It should also be highlighted that Iscte is the Portuguese public University with the highest strength index (candidates in 1st option/number of places).

The huge gap that exists in professionals with specific knowledge of AI enhances the prospect of high employability of the Degree, also leveraged in applied teaching, with a view to solving problems. The close collaboration in several curricular units with companies and organizations - in the context of collaborative projects - appears to be another strong point regarding the employability of future graduates.
