Applied artificial intelligence (M. Sc.)

Artificial intelligence has developed from a promising technology of the future into the basis of the business models of the world's most successful companies. As a result, the potential applications of AI can be found across all industries and more and more organisations are recognising the disruptive significance of artificial intelligence. In order to bring AI into business practice, experts are now needed who can provide trend-setting impetus for the future.

The Master's in Applied Artificial Intelligence prepares you for the world of tomorrow and qualifies you as a data scientist, machine learning engineer or data engineer alongside your career. As a graduate of this degree programme, you will have the relevant basic skills in AI as well as various specialisation skills, such as for the development of deep neural networks in the fields of computer vision and text and speech understanding.
