The Department of Computer Science at the University of Sharjah is proposing a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program in Artificial Intelligence (AI). As known, AI is a rapidly advancing field that enhances many domains, including, but not limited to, engineering, smart cities, healthcare, education, and finance. The UAE’s vision is position itself as a global leader in AI, which indeed requires an urgent need for highly trained researchers and professionals in this domain. This PhD Program is an intensive, full-time, four-year program comprising a balance of core and elective courses. Researchers will engage in research under the supervision of faculty with diverse expertise. The program aims to produce graduates capable of advancing fundamental research, developing innovative applications, while adhering to ethical deployment of AI. A preliminary market survey (see Appendix 1) indicates strong demand for doctoral-level training in AI. We believe that the graduates of the program will be well-positioned for careers in academia, industry, government, and technology start-ups. The PhD in AI is aligned with international best practices in doctoral education and seek accreditation and recognition at the national and international level. The program is proposed with sufficient flexibility to adapt to the rapid evolution of AI research and applications, ensuring its relevance and competitiveness.
