Everything You Need to Know

Course Content

Artificial intelligence is THE key technology of digitalization. Your degree program is a comprehensive package of theory and practice for developing AI applications.

AI is at the core of your studies starting in the first semester. While you’re learning the basics of math and programming, you’ll dive right into visual analytics and the world of artificial intelligence.

As early as the second semester, you’ll develop your own AI models in the Machine Learning module, before later pursuing a specialization in key technologies such as deep learning, computer vision, or autonomous systems. At the same time, you’ll learn how to translate these models into real-world applications as a software developer.

Perspectives

Your career prospects are excellent. That’s because with us, you don’t just learn how to use AI—you learn how to build it. This will enable you to independently develop the AI solutions of the future, rather than simply applying them.

You’ll develop smart solutions for a wide range of industries—from manufacturing and retail to healthcare—for example as:

AI Specialist
Data Scientist
Consultant in Machine Learning / Data Analytics / Artificial Intelligence
Software Engineer for Machine Learning
Business Analyst
Data Engineer
Robotics Expert
