Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, B.Sc.
Our world is digitising and you are right in the middle of it. We are surrounded by digital systems continuously generating ever more data. But it only gets really interesting when all this data produces information.

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.
Programme selection →About the programme
Applying and interpreting information is nothing new in itself – what is new are the fields of application which have opened up in recent years through the advancement of the technologies involved. We are standing at a threshold where artificial intelligence processes make further technological leaps possible. Medical imaging, autonomous vehicles and digital assistants are on everyone’s lips, and many more applications will be added to these in the coming years.

If you enjoy working with others on these new applications, designing them yourself rather than just using what others have developed, then our B.Sc. in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science is the course for you. With its high practical relevance, the course will prepare you comprehensively for future tasks while also qualifying you for subsequent Master degree courses. There is currently hardly any other skill in greater demand, and we are confident that we are only at the beginning of developments.

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 C1 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 uni-assist (VPD) + the university until 15.07uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 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.
