Is a Master’s Degree Worth It in the AI Era?
about the event
Artificial intelligence writes code, analyzes data, and teaches faster than any textbook. So is it worth investing a year and a half in a master’s degree? It’s a fair question — and this SET Open Day is dedicated to answering it.
No marketing promises — we’ll break down what AI has already changed in the requirements for professionals, where self-learning works and where it hits a ceiling, and what systematic education offers: depth, environment, mentors, and a network you can’t get from a chatbot. You’ll learn about our master’s programs and how everything works from the inside: how the learning process is built, who will teach you, and what it takes to apply.
SET Open Day is your chance to get honest answers and all the practical information you need to make an informed choice.
