M.Sc. Artificial Intelligence Engineering

About the programme

Artificial intelligence (AI) now permeates all areas of our lives and holds enormous potential for the future. Mathematics and computer science provide the foundations for understanding and developing core AI technologies.

In the Master of Science programme in Artificial Intelligence Engineering (AI Engineering), you will deal with scientific theories, algorithms and methods for designing and developing AI-based systems. You will also acquire the ability to integrate artificial intelligence into existing real-world systems (e.g. media systems, information systems, industrial processes) or to develop these yourself.

In addition, you will study artificial intelligence from the perspective of other academic disciplines, as the widespread use of AI-based systems raises not only technical but also legal, ethical, social and economic questions.

Features

• Research-oriented master's degree leading to excellent career opportunities in a multitude of industries
• Study a subject at the interface between computer science and mathematics and gain insights into a wide range of cross-disciplinary areas of application (e.g. media, Industry 4.0, mobility)
• A broad selection of state-of-the-art subjects with an international outlook
• Superb staff-student ratio: a study in small learning groups
• The Chairs and institutes maintain excellent relations with industrial and business partners
• The whole programme is taught in English

Programme syllabus

The M.Sc. AI Engineering programme is divided into compulsory and compulsory elective module areas.

In the compulsory area, you will attend the Introduction to AI Engineering lecture (with accompanying exercise course) as well as an AI Engineering seminar. You will also write your master's thesis in this area.

Compulsory elective modules

The compulsory elective area is divided into the following six-module groups:

1. Algorithm Engineering and Mathematical Modelling
2. Artificial Intelligence Methods
3. Artificial Intelligence Systems Engineering
4. Artificial Intelligence Applications
5. Cross-Cutting Concerns
6. Research Seminars

Career prospects

The demand for AI competencies in the labour market is increasing significantly. With a master's degree in Artificial Intelligence Engineering, you are able to work independently or take on executive positions and challenging jobs in the private and public sectors or academia. This degree opens up outstanding career opportunities in a wide range of industries, such as:

• systems development and data analysis in the area of digital media
• software engineering and IT systems development
• data analysis in the financial and service sectors
• development of AI-based solutions in the transport and mobility sector
• control of industrial plants; Industry 4.0
• the medical and pharmaceutical industries as well as life sciences
• insurance companies and banks

Finally, the degree opens up an academic career path if you continue studying for a doctorate in artificial intelligence development.
