Hi everyone, I just started my bachelor’s degree in AI. I’m looking for advice on what I should learn alongside my coursework. For example, which programming languages are the most useful? Are there any must-take courses or resources you recommend? Any tips or suggestions are welcome!
Welcome to this forum! Here are some general guidelines for asking questions and participating in discussions:
- Try to give as much detail as possible in your posts.
- Before asking, check if your question has already been answered by searching the forum.
- Discussions about both the good and bad sides of AI are fine, just keep it respectful.
- If you make any claims, provide links or references to support them.
Feel free to ask more questions or share your journey in AI studies!
The earlier you start applying for jobs or internships, the better. Waiting until you feel completely ‘ready’ often leads to missed opportunities. You’ll learn and grow through the process itself.

That’s a good point! I hadn’t thought about applying early. Thanks!
Start building your portfolio with small AI projects. Employers like to see hands-on experience, even if it’s from self-initiated work. Also, keep improving your coding skills—Python is a must, and knowing some C++ or Java can help too.
Quick question: Are you good at math? If not, it’s something you might want to work on a bit. Also, start with Python—it’s beginner-friendly and widely used in AI.

I honestly hate math, but I guess I’ll have to deal with it. Python sounds like a good place to start, though. Thanks!
My theory is that geometric deep learning could be the future of AI. Understanding natural patterns like fractals and geometry in data processing is incredibly powerful. Experimenting with AI on your own can also spark creativity.
Networking is so important. Start reaching out to people in the field while you’re studying. Build connections that could help you get internships, which can lead to full-time roles later. Most people wait too long to start this—don’t be one of them.
