- Description/content
- The Master's programme in AI at FAU is designed to give graduates a solid understanding of artificial intelligence that is broad in application, intersecting with other disciplines, and is deep and well-founded in the academic methodologies of the field. The degree programme offers a broad variety of topics and specialisations and a wide range of applications and research groups. The Department of Computer Science provides broad opportunities for “hands-on” project work and practical sessions. In contrast to data science-oriented programmes, the AI programme focuses on the constructive modelling and implementation of algorithms, data structures, neural networks and their respective applications. The programme takes a minimum of four semesters. The main purpose of the last semester is the preparation of the Master’s thesis. The thesis is intended to introduce students to research work at the university.
Admission
The central qualification factor for admission to the Master’s programme in AI is a Bachelor’s degree in informatics or computer science. Applications based on degrees from related fields may also be successful, but students may have to submit to an oral entrance examination to guarantee familiarity with the material necessary to successfully participate in the Master’s-level courses of this programme. It is possible to start this programme either in the summer or in the winter semester. A detailed information for the application is given under the application link (https://www.ai.study.fau.eu/prospective-students/application-master/).
