Artificial Intelligence Engineering

About

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.

Requirements

Entry Requirements

You are eligible for this degree programme if the following applies to you: You have an undergraduate university degree in computer science or mathematics with a computer science/mathematics component of at least 120 ECTS credits. Out of these 120 ECTS credits: at least 35 ECTS credits must have been earned in mathematics modules/courses, including theoretical computer science at least 40 ECTS credits must have been earned in computer science modules/courses If you completed a four-year non-ECTS degree, the 120 ECTS credit requirement is deemed to be met if two-thirds of your credit points were earned in computer science/mathematics-related modules/courses. This is further qualified as follows: Your degree must have been earned over a course of study of a standard length of three years or more. The final grade for your first degree must be 2.7 or better under the German marking system, or the relevant equivalent final grade in a foreign marking system. If your final grade is not 2.7 (or the equivalent foreign grade) or better, you may still apply if you can prove that you ranked among the best 70% of graduates within your particular degree programme in the academic year in which your final certificate was issued (i.e. your cohort). In that case you should provide an official certificate from your university registrar specifying the total number of graduates of your cohort as well as, importantly, the rank number/percentile you attained on the basis of your final grade. As part of the application you must submit an English or German-language abstract/summary of your undergraduate dissertation/bachelor's thesis/final year project. If you did not write a dissertation/thesis as a formal part of your prior degree programme, you may instead submit an academic research paper or publication that demonstrates your ability to solve a scientific research problem independently. If you do not have your degree certificate and final transcript at the time of application: If you cannot provide your final bachelor's (or equivalent) certificate and transcript but are in the final semester of your degree programme at the time of application, you may include the transcripts thus far available reflecting the courses previously taken as well as all results and current marks/grades. You will then be considered for a conditional offer, in which case you would have to present your degree certificate and final transcript at enrolment or within 10 weeks after the first day of lectures. This will be approved only if you have already completed all coursework and assessments for your first degree at the beginning of the degree programme at the University of Passau and have submitted a (preliminary) transcript showing an average (preliminary) grade of 2.7 or the equivalent foreign grade. Please note that we only recognise degrees awarded by universities with 'H+' status in the Anabin database of the German Central Office for Foreign Education. You can check the Anabin database online or contact the International Coordinator of the faculty by e-mail if you do not understand German.

Career

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.
