Study Program concept
Our innovative teaching and learning approach, rooted in extensive research, emphasizes active engagement and reflective practices. Rather than memorization-based learning, our approach entails undertaking learning-oriented assignments throughout the semester, and receiving personalized feedback from faculty on your progress.
The scientific core of your studies will be the essential content of your program. In the case of M.Sc. AI & Robotics, the following six base modules serve as your scientific core:
- Artificial Intelligence
- Mobile Robot Navigation
- Machine Learning
- Computer Vision
- Deep Learning
- Data Engineering

The curriculum of the master program Artificial Intelligence and Robotics is a modularised study program. Students will learn about problem-solving, decision-making, and knowledge representation in AI, as well as the design and implementation of algorithms for autonomous robot navigation. They will study neural networks, training algorithms, optimization techniques, and applications in computer vision and natural language processing. Students will also learn about data analysis, statistical methods, data visualization, and data mining techniques. Through practical assignments and projects, they will gain hands-on experience in designing and implementing algorithms and systems in these fields.
The unique highlight is the learning in transformation project, an interdisciplinary scientific research project that focuses on practical learning experiences. The project aims to provide students with a scientific-based approach to solving real-world problems.
