Artificial Intelligence

Absolventinnen und Absolventen des Masterstudiengangs Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) verfügen über umfassendes, fundiertes Methodenwissen sowohl in der wissensbasierten als auch in der lernbasierten KI. Als forschungsorientierter Masterstudiengang ermöglicht der Studiengang eine Vertiefung in den Bereichen  „Lernen und Wissen“, „Planen und Schlussfolgern“, „Perzeption, Interaktion und Aktion“ sowie „Übergreifende Konzepten, Methoden und Ansätze“.
Die akademisch fundierte Ausbildung in allen Bereichen der Künstlichen Intelligenz, erlaubt es unseren Absolventinnen und Absolventen mit der hohen Dynamik des Fachgebiets und seinen aktuellen und künftigen Weiterentwicklungen angemessen Schritt halten zu können. Gleichzeitig sind die Absolventinnen und Absolventen sensibilisiert für die ethischen und rechtlichen Aspekte von auf künstlicher Intelligenz basierten Systemen. Grundwissen über Mitarbeiterführung und weitere Soft Skills (Zeitmanagement, Fremdsprachen, Präsentation, Moderation) runden die Fachkenntnisse unserer Absolventinnen und Absolventen ab.

You are needed

Our world is becoming increasingly digital. That's why we need specialists who can shape digitalization from AI to IT and e-mobility.

Study objectives

The master's programme Artificial Intelligence deepens your knowledge from the bachelor's degree with a clear focus on the methods of Artificial Intelligence. The modularised design allows you a tailored specialisation while the integrated projects make sure that you learn how to apply your acquired knowledge. The master's thesis completes your degree. Here you will work independently on a current topic from your area of specialisation. Your project components, the master's thesis or taking on a position as a student assistant are great opportunities to work as part of an international research team at the University.

Knowledge: Upon graduation you will have acquired advanced and comprehensive knowledge in mathematics, computer science and natural sciences. This qualifies you for academic work and to act responsibly in your work and in society. You will be able to think critically about new findings in your discipline and be sensitised to the ethical and legal aspects of systems that are based on Artificial Intelligence.

Competencies and skills

Our graduates also analyze and solve incomplete or competing problems scientifically, abstract complex issues and develop innovative solutions. They create new products, processes and methods, use their judgment to deal with incomplete information and overcome contradictions.

Our graduates recognize information needs, procure specific information, plan and carry out investigations, critically evaluate data and draw well-founded conclusions. They also analyze and evaluate the application of new and emerging technologies.

Our graduates are able to combine knowledge methodically, master complex tasks and quickly familiarize themselves with new topics. They reflect responsibly on non-technical implications and critically scrutinize existing methods in order to develop them further if necessary.

Study situation

The generous teacher to student ratio at Ulm University ensures exceptional support. Classes and tutorials are held in fairly small groups, we systematically encourage study groups and the use of electronic communication and learning platforms will help you to ease into this versatile degree programme, especially during your first semesters. Our students, professors and assistants enjoy a trusting rapport. Teaching staff and student tutors from higher semesters are highly engaged and keenly interested in each student’s, i.e. your success.

Building on a bachelor's degree in computer science or other degrees with relevant mathematical/computer science contents, the master's programme Artificial Intelligence offers in-depth specialisation. You can choose from a comprehensive range of subjects that cover the entire spectrum of Artificial Intelligence. You also have the opportunity to actively work in research projects at the institutes for your project components and/or master’s thesis.

In the integrated protect components you will learn how to put your theoretical knowledge into practice. Practical implementation is also part of the research-oriented specialisation. The offered specialisation modules allow you to choose from the areas "Learning and Knowledge", "Planning and Deductive Reasoning", "Perception, Interaction and Action" and "Overarching Concepts, Methods and Approaches of AI". Our cooperations with partners from industry open up further opportunities to gain valuable practical insights. Doing your project work and/or writing your master’s thesis externally is a great way to gain relevant practical experience and establish contacts, for example in the close-by Science Park.

Study abroad

Semester abroad? Why not! Our exchange programmes offer various opportunities to meet people from different cultures and improve your language and intercultural skills. It is well worth your time to go abroad and expand your horizon, both on a personal and professional level.

The many international students on our campus also create an international flair. The International Office is here to support both incoming and outgoing students. The International Office offers international prospective students who wish to apply for a German-taught study programme at Ulm University, a preparatory course.
