Artificial Intelligence, B.Sc.
In the exciting world of artificial intelligence, you will learn to programme computers so that they can make independent decisions and perform tasks that are normally done by humans. As a student on the Artificial Intelligence degree programme you will acquire the specialist knowledge required to build AI systems. In the beginning, the programme covers basic topics such as mathematics, programming, algorithms and data structures, operating systems, networks and databases. As you progress, you will explore complex AI topics such as machine learning, computer vision, natural language processing, big data, deep learning, autonomous robotics and computational logic.

Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.

In the future, all economic and service sectors will need support from artificial intelligence in order to remain competitive and assert themselves in their market segments. This development, but also, for example, the investments by the federal and state governments in the national AI strategy amounting to more than 4 billion euros testify to the enormous prospects that the job market offers you. The target companies for you as a graduate of the AI course basically come from all industries, but especially from the software industry. Examples of applications of artificial intelligence include automated driving, smart home, facial recognition, music streaming, medical diagnoses, navigation, human robots or digital voice assistants. You can work anywhere here. But this course of study also prepares you for self-employment or work in applied research and development in the areas mentioned. Your specific tasks will vary accordingly - developing algorithms for artificial intelligence, creating the data basis, evaluating and analyzing data or advising other companies. In large companies, your area of responsibility can be more differentiated, while in small companies you take on several sub-tasks at the same time.

Requirements and application
| Previous education | A school certificate that gives access to university in Germany — directly or after a Studienkolleg. |
|---|---|
| Language | German B2 — confirmed by a certificate when you apply |
| Application | Directly to the university, winter semester until 15.07 |
The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to B2 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application directly to the university until 15.07Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 5Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
