Summary
An international double degree Master’s program “Big Data and Artificial Intelligence for Digital Humanities” is presented in this paper. The program is intended to strengthen students’ skills in domain expertise, working in team, etc. The program aims at developing competencies related to creative and systems thinking and enables students to identify and solve interdisciplinary and humanitarian problems using big data, data mining, artificial intelligence technologies. The authors provide a short motivation for building network of universities, including the choice of the universities based on geographical location, facilities, partnership, expertise. They also describe the possible career paths in continuing studies in a relevant Ph. D. program or pursuing career in business.

Relevance for Complex Systems Knowledge
The authors provide a description of an international and double degree master program on big data and artificial intelligence. Despite of providing knowledge and skills in the professional field, this program is oriented in developing system thinking, collaborative international teamwork and solving interdisciplinary and humanitarian problems. The authors state that real processes are usually complex and poorly formalized and the graduates are prepared to design and implement informational intelligent systems or simulate the behavior of the complex systems and make decisions or provide suggestions based on the simulation results.

Point of Strength
The point of strength is a provided scheme of the formed university network and the description of international program dedicated to develop creative and systems thinking.
