September 9, 2026
Digital arts, human resources management, business intelligence, artificial intelligence, and data science have been added to the training options, with classes set to begin on March 15, 2027.

New degree programs, technical programs, and specializations have been added to the academic offerings of the Universidad ORT Uruguay

Among the new programs are the Bachelor of Arts in Digital Arts, offered by the School of Design, along with the technical degrees in Human Resources Analysis and Business Intelligence Analysis, offered by the School of Business and Social Sciences.

In addition, there are new specialization options within two degree programs in the School of Engineering: the Systems Engineering program now offers a specialization in Artificial Intelligence, and the Bachelor of Science in Systems program allows students to earn their degree with a specialization in Data Science.

Creating for What's to Come

The Bachelor of Arts in Digital Arts is an evolution of the Bachelor of Arts in Design, Art, and Technology, which has been offered since 2018, and provides an education focused on contemporary artistic creation and new forms of digital production and expression.

The four-year program integrates art, creativity, and critical thinking with media such as imagery, audiovisual media, animation, interactivity, virtual reality, and immersive environments.

*The program is part of the new Creative Hub, a 3,150 m² space designed to promote audiovisual, digital, artistic, and design production.

The program focuses on the creation, production, direction, and management of digital artworks and experiences. Students work on projects that may include installations, performances, audiovisual experiences, and interactive projects, among other formats.

The new curriculum maintains a project-based approach and combines the fundamentals of art and design with contemporary methods of creation and production.

Those interested in pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Digital Arts may apply for theDigital Arts Scholarship, which offers a15% discount onthe total cost of the degree program. This scholarship is available exclusively to students who choose this new academic program and may be combined with other benefits and scholarships in accordance with their respective terms and conditions.

Managing in Times of Change

The School of Business and Social Sciences is introducing two 18-month technical degree programs designed to develop skills applicable to two areas critical to organizational management: people and data.

A Human Resources Analyst handles the main processes related to people management, including recruitment, personnel administration, compensation, internal communication, labor relations, and compliance with the regulatory framework.

*Both technical programs are offered three times a week, and their in-person courses can be taken remotely using the HyFlex® model.

The proposal also incorporates data analysis and visualization, artificial intelligence, and digital tools applied to human resources management. In this way, it combines subject-matter expertise with skills related to new ways of working and decision-making.

The Business Intelligence Analyst program, for its part, trains professionals to extract, process, and visualize data in order to turn it into useful information for organizations.

The program combines analytical skills, digital tools, and business knowledge with the goal of developing the skills needed to support decision-making and contribute to the optimization of operational and business processes.

Empowering Decision-Making with AI and Data

The School of Engineering is also updating two of its degree programs to offer new opportunities for in-depth study in areas related to technological development.

The five-year Systems Engineering program offers the option to earn a degree with a concentration in Artificial Intelligence.

The degree program already includes coursework in statistics, data management, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

The new track allows students to delve deeper into this field through a specific set of elective courses, with an emphasis on the design and development of solutions based on artificial intelligence.

*Two degree programs in the School of Engineering now offer a specialization in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence

The four-year Bachelor's Degree in Systems also includes a Data Science track. Students can pursue this track through required and elective courses focused on the analysis, interpretation, and strategic use of information.

Its new curriculum incorporates artificial intelligence from the very first semesters and delves deeply into areas such as engineering AI-based solutions, machine learning, big data, digital transformation, innovation, and entrepreneurship.


With these additions, the academic offerings for 2027 include new degree programs in fields that span various industries and professional activities: from digital artistic creation to people management, data analysis, and the development of artificial intelligence-based solutions.
