Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is divided into two areas: generalised AI, which acts similar to humans, and specific AI, which may even exceed humans in certain areas. While generalised AI has not been developed yet, specific AI has been very successful, e. g. in medicine or product management. 

The online study programme in Artificial Intelligence deals with a wide range of topics and expands your knowledge of machine learning. The 60 ECTS programme offers you specific knowledge in the areas of computer-based language and image processing, intelligent production in industry 4.0 or autonomous driving. With a master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence, you can even work in civil service.

Tuition fees

Study model and prices for the Master's online study programme in Artificial Intelligence

Depending on your personal or professional situation, full-time study is not always easy to manage. That is why we have also developed part-time programmes for all our degrees, which offer flexible and longer study periods. This way, you can study alongside your job or during your time off, whether at home or abroad. The content of the different models is identical. Depending on the study model, we will adjust your tuition fees accordingly. With the part-time variants, your weekly study workload is reduced.

Can't finish your degree in the allotted time? No problem! We will develop the right study model for everyone. If you realise that you need more time, you can easily switch to another study model with three months’ notice before the end of the month. These are our different study models:
