Image Procesing and Computer Vision Pázmány Péter Catholic University

Overview

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Master in Image Processing and Computer Vision (IPCVAI) is a two-year international programme designed to train highly qualified specialists in artificial intelligence, visual computing, and data-driven image analysis. The programme is jointly delivered by three European universities with strong research excellence in the field: Pázmány Péter Catholic University (Budapest, Hungary), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain), and Université de Bordeaux (France).

Image processing and computer vision are key enabling technologies behind many innovations shaping modern society, including medical imaging, autonomous vehicles, robotics, smart cities, augmented reality, and multimedia analysis. The IPCVAI programme addresses these challenges through an interdisciplinary curriculum that combines computer science, electrical engineering, applied mathematics, and machine learning.

The programme is fully taught in English and comprises 120 ECTS credits over two years. Students benefit from international mobility by studying in three different European countries, gaining exposure to diverse academic environments and research traditions.

A central component of the curriculum is artificial intelligence, with particular emphasis on machine learning and deep neural networks for analysing images and video. Students learn to design algorithms, implement advanced computational methods, and develop intelligent systems capable of interpreting visual information.

The programme strongly integrates education with research and innovation. Students work closely with research groups, participate in laboratory projects, and gain experience with state-of-the-art technologies in visual computing. In addition, the programme collaborates with an extended network of academic and industrial partners across Europe.

Through internships and applied research projects, students gain practical experience and develop professional skills relevant to industry and research careers. Graduates obtain master’s degrees from the partner universities and are well prepared for employment in high-tech industries such as AI development, computer vision engineering, robotics, and data science, as well as for doctoral studies and research careers.
