AI Transforms the Workplace, Master's in Informatics Becomes a Career Investment for Digital Professionals

The development of artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and data-based technology has reshaped the needs of the job market. Companies no longer just require professionals who can operate technology, but also individuals who can analyse problems, design strategies, lead innovation, and make data-based decisions. Responding to this challenge, Universitas Nusa Mandiri (UNM), as a Digital Business Campus, is presenting a Master’s in Informatics programme designed to equip professionals with advanced digital competencies as well as the research and leadership skills needed in the era of digital transformation. Continuing studies to a master’s level is no longer just about pursuing an academic title. For professionals, a master’s degree is a strategic step to broaden their horizons, strengthen competitiveness, and open up career opportunities at managerial or specialist levels. Students of the UNM Master’s in Informatics programme not only learn about technology implementation but are also trained to understand technology deployment strategies, manage risks, analyse their impact on organisations, and produce innovations that address the needs of industry and society. The Head of the Master’s in Informatics Study Programme at Universitas Nusa Mandiri, Prof. Dr. Agus Subekti, stated that technological developments require professionals to have strategic thinking skills, not just technical skills. ‘In the AI era, companies need talent capable of integrating technology with business needs. The Master’s in Informatics programme at Universitas Nusa Mandiri is designed to produce professionals who not only master cutting-edge technology but are also able to lead innovation, conduct research, and generate digital solutions that have a real impact on organisations and society,’ he said in a release received on Saturday (18/7). The UNM Master’s in Informatics programme offers various specialisations relevant to industry needs, such as Artificial Intelligence & Blockchain, Software Engineering & Data Science, and Computer Vision & Image Processing. These competencies are increasingly needed across various sectors, from banking, government, healthcare, education, and manufacturing to the technology and digital economy industries. Through a research-based learning process and industry case studies, students are prepared to develop into IT Strategists, Data Scientists, AI Specialists, Software Engineering Specialists, IT Consultants, Project Managers, researchers, academics, technopreneurs, and leaders of digital transformation. He emphasised that postgraduate education is a long-term investment for professionals who wish to remain relevant amidst rapid technological change. ‘Technology will continue to evolve, but the ability to think critically, research, collaborate, and make data-based decisions will always be needed. Therefore, we invite professionals to continue investing in themselves through quality education to become part of Indonesia’s digital transformation,’ he added.
