Master in Artificial Intelligence at Sapienza University of Rome

About the programme

Artificial Intelligence (Intelligenza Artificiale) is a two-year master's degree in class LM-32 at Sapienza University of Rome, taught in English and run by the Department of Computer, Control and Management Engineering Antonio Ruberti. It is Sapienza's part of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Artificial Intelligence (EMAI), a joint degree with Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Radboud University in the Netherlands and the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia.

EMAI is co-funded by the European Union through Erasmus+. Its fourth cohort, the class of 2026 to 2028, started in Barcelona in September 2026.

How applications work

We do not apply for this degree through Sapienza's MoveIn portal. Applications go through the EMAI consortium website, run by Pompeu Fabra University, and the consortium says the next round will open in November 2026. We check the EMAI website for entry requirements, scholarships and deadlines.

Sapienza's other English AI master's

If you want to apply directly to Sapienza, look at Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, also in class LM-32 and taught in English. For 2026/27 it admitted non-EU applicants through MoveIn pre-selection from 22 December 2025 to 15 May 2026.

Fees and scholarships

EMAI sets its own participation costs and scholarships, co-funded by Erasmus+, so we check the EMAI call. For degrees Sapienza admits directly, such as Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, students with income abroad paid a flat €300, €700 or €1,500 a year by country band under the 2025/26 rules, and eligible students can apply for a DiSCo Lazio scholarship, which DiSCo Lazio decides each year.

How ApplyAZ helps

EMAI applications go through the consortium, not through Sapienza. If you would rather apply directly to Italian public universities, ApplyAZ can include Sapienza's Artificial Intelligence and Robotics degree and similar programmes in a shortlist of 20 to 30 English-taught programmes. We write your CV and statement of purpose, submit your applications and Universitaly pre-enrolment, help you file your DSU scholarship application at the right time and in the right format, and prepare your visa file.
