An English-language Bachelor programme in Artificial Intelligence
An English-language Master’s degree programme in Artificial Intelligence

Skills:

Graduates with a degree in Artificial Intelligence have has highly specialised skills in artificial intelligence (AI) and can design, implement, maintain and use effective intelligent systems both symbolically and data-driven in varying contexts with different framework conditions. Graduates can explain how intelligent systems work, including empowering decision makers to prioritise areas where intelligent systems can be used.

Graduates have technical skills in artificial intelligence as well as relevant knowledge of maths and computer science. They can ensure that the social, ethical and legal aspects associated with the use of artificial intelligence are taken into account in their work.

A graduate can apply different programming languages, algorithms and data structures; the principles and tools of machine learning and mathematical and logical modelling formalisms, reasoning and optimisation. The graduate can develop new solutions in different application areas by abstracting and transferring known techniques to other contexts. The graduate can improve the processes and decision-making basis of companies and organisations and assess the relevance, usability and feasibility of AI tools as well as develop and implement the tools. Graduates bridge the gap between the technical side of AI and management decisions, evaluating technical, social and ethical implications of using AI.

Jobs:

Graduates with a degree in Artificial Intelligence will be able to hold a variety of jobs including IT specialist/developer, consultant, Business Intelligence analyst or data scientist. They can start their own business or join small and large, regional, national and international companies and organisations.

An English-language Bachelor programme in Computer Science
An English-language Master’s degree programme in Computer Science

Skills:

A graduate with a degree in Computer Science can work with fundamental principles of computation and information processing, including how computer systems can be designed and programmed. Graduates can apply computer science and mathematical models and methods as well as to non-mathematical topics relevant to software development.

The graduate can apply a wide range of key algorithms and data structures developed in computer science as well as work with randomisation in algorithm design and use elementary probability theory to analyse the running time of algorithms. The graduate can apply data mining and machine learning techniques, principles of computer hardware and operating system design, including distributed and parallel systems, knowledge of key aspects of networking and computer security, including methods to prevent and detect security issues. A graduate can program in several types of programming languages, construct large-scale software systems, design and implement a relational database and analyse the pros and cons of different algorithms.

Jobs:

As a computer scientist, you have an extremely solid foundation for a career as a software engineer, software developer or software architect, e.g. in high-tech industrial businesses, the healthcare sector or the financial sector. Many computer scientists work as consultants in large consultancies and in their own small businesses.

An English-language Bachelor programme in Interactive Technology Engineering
An English-language Master of Science in Interactive Technology Engineering

Skills:

Graduates with an MSc degree in Interactive Technology Engineering can solve complex technical problems and contribute to the design, development and implementation of software with a specific focus on user-oriented applications in new development or customisation of software such as games, learning applications, healthcare systems, virtual reality or other areas such as hardware as an innovative element where the requirement for user-friendliness and user experience is high.

The graduate focuses on the interaction between system and user, especially in experience technology, but also learning, robotics and other contexts. They can apply and reflect on theories, models and techniques for problem identification and analysis, software design, interaction design, development, implementation, verification and documentation, and project management in game development, AI technologies, web/online, hardware and robotics, and interactive systems across mixed reality, augmented reality and virtual reality.

Graduates can work independently and as part of a team, including in a multidisciplinary and globally orientated collaboration, designing appropriate solutions for different application areas.

Jobs:

Graduates with a degree in Interactive Technology Engineering will be able to perform a variety of job functions in primarily private companies but also public functions in the broad creative industries, healthcare sector and learning environments. Jobs where interaction with human users is central. Graduates are often employed in executive roles such as game developer, system developer, software developer, database programmer, 3D programmer, server-side systems engineer, graphics developer, robot engineer, hardware designer, system designer, interaction designer, producer, analyst, system integrator or system architect.

An English-language BSc programme in Software Engineering
An English-language MSc programme in Software Engineering

Skills:

Graduates with an MSc in Software Engineering degree have extensive knowledge of the theory, methodology and practice of software engineering and can apply the methods, tools and software engineering skills necessary to work in a systematic and reflective manner in the development, acquisition, customisation, integration, refinement and maintenance of software that conforms to user goals, quality standards and frameworks.

The graduate can work independently and in an interdisciplinary and globally oriented collaboration. Furthermore, they can design appropriate solutions for different application areas by using software engineering methods that are suitable for the task at hand and that include technological, user, organisational, societal and ethical aspects.
