Overview of the BSc in AI & Sustainable Technologies: Orientation, Calibration, Elevation and Activation Phases

BSc in AI & Sustainable Technologies Program's Orientation, Calibration, Elevation and Activation Phases

The BSc in AI & Sustainable Technologies is designed to equip learners with the knowledge, skills, and experience needed to leverage artificial intelligence for a sustainable future. The program is structured into four distinct phases: Orientation, Calibration, Elevation, and Activation. Each phase guides learners through different stages of their academic and professional journey, from foundational skills to real-world applications.

Phase 1: Orientation

Purpose: Establishing a strong foundation in AI, sustainability, and innovation

The Orientation Phase introduces learners to Tomorrow University's learning model, essential academic skills, and the community of peers, faculty, and industry partners. This phase consists of six challenges, each designed to prepare learners for the journey ahead.

Orientation Challenges:

  1. Mission Identification – Define your learning objectives and purpose
  2. Build Your Dream Team – Develop collaboration and teamwork skills
  3. Technology Revolutions – Understand the current tech landscape
  4. Sustainability Foundations – Explore key concepts of sustainability
  5. Intro to Coding for AI – Learn fundamental programming concepts for AI applications
  6. Intro to Digital Strategy – Design strategies which enable digital transformation and innovation

🆕 Program tip:  If you're planning to follow the AI & Sustainability program, pay special attention to Sustainability Foundations.

For all other programs , Technology Revolutions and Intro to Coding for AI are particularly relevant.

Phase 2: Calibration

Purpose: Gaining fundamental knowledge and skills in AI and sustainability.

At Tomorrow University, we empower learners to develop cutting-edge skills at the intersection of artificial intelligence, data science, and sustainable technologies. During your Calibration Phase, you will deepen your expertise by completing six Impact Certificates (ICs) aligned with your chosen program.

❗️These programs apply to all learners starting the BA in Responsible Entrepreneurship from June 2026 onwards.

🎯 Your Options within the BA Degree

Within your degree, the BSc in AI & Sustainable Technologies, you have two options when moving into the Calibration Phase.

Whichever option you choose, you will select your Impact Certificates at the end of the Orientation Phase — and you don't have to commit to everything upfront. You can adjust your IC choices up to one week before each IC starts.

Option 1️⃣

Following a Pre-Structured Program

You can follow a pre-structured program designed around a specific topic area, with a recommended set of elective ICs to complement your core curriculum.

📜 Your official degree title on your diploma will read: "BSc in AI & Sustainable Technologies with specialization in [Name of Program]"

📝 Your transcript of records will list your completed challenges and chosen Impact Certificates.

In Calibration, you complete the three recommended core ICs plus three elective ICs from your program's pre-selection. You can also replace one elective with any other IC from the BA catalogue.

In Elevation and Activation, you are free to pursue topics aligned with your program area to further sharpen your profile.

 Option 2️⃣

Customized Learning Journey

Pick and choose your Impact Certificates freely during Calibration, combining ICs from different topic areas based on your interests and career goals.

📜 Your official degree title on your diploma will read: "BSc in AI & Sustainable Technologies" 

📝 Your transcript of records will list your completed challenges and chosen Impact Certificates.

In Calibration, you complete six ICs of your choice — all can be taken in any order.

In Elevation, you deepen your expertise through applied challenges.

In Activation, you complete your final project or thesis on a topic of your choice.
