The amount of information available digitally is growing at a breathtaking rate. Both technical trends, such as the digitalization of media and processes, and social trends, such as pervasive social networks, contribute to this development. Whoever is able to strategically analyze, structure and use this gigantic flood of data and its interconnections has a competitive advantage.
The ability to understand and build such systems is founded on the latest research results, particularly in the areas of artificial intelligence and data science. Plus, systems are now able to learn selected capabilities more or less independently, instead of having to be programmed with them.
Based on scientific methodology, in three semesters, the English-language Master’s degree program Intelligent Systems (ISY) will enable you to understand, design and implement complex, cognitive and decision-capable systems. This applies for applications in both industry and research. It will prepare you for challenging scientific roles in application-oriented computer science, as well as for managerial roles in the IT sector.
