The London School of Emerging Technology (LSET) has officially launched an advanced AI and Emerging Technologies programme, aimed at fostering next-generation talent in one of the world’s most transformative fields. The programme rollout aligns seamlessly with the UAE’s 2031 AI Strategy, which positions the country as a global hub for artificial intelligence and digital innovation.
Designed to equip students with both technical and entrepreneurial skills, the new course blends machine learning, data science, blockchain, cloud computing, and cybersecurity into a comprehensive curriculum. What sets the programme apart is its real-world focus—pairing theoretical knowledge with live industry projects, mentorship from global experts, and direct links to startup incubators and tech accelerators.
The launch is particularly timely, as the UAE ramps up efforts to lead the AI revolution in the Middle East and beyond. The new programme reflects a strategic partnership between UK-based academic excellence and the Gulf region’s commitment to future-forward education. LSET’s presence in the UAE is expected to grow, with plans underway to offer hybrid learning modules, workshops, and talent pipelines tailored for the regional job market.
In a statement, LSET leadership emphasised their desire to “bridge the gap between education and innovation ecosystems” as well as to “support national visions like the UAE’s by empowering learners with future-proof skills.” With tech-driven economies on the upswing, this new project aims to develop a workforce capable of shaping the industries of the future.
