FAQ

Do I learn how to develop Artificial Intelligence in this study programme?

Of course! The programme has a strong focus on AI, and you learn how to develop and apply it correctly.

In the third semester, you get to choose between two specialisations. Select “Data Science” to embark on a journey to the realm of Machine Learning and AI. What is more, we teach you important topics such as Big Data and Data Warehousing.

How do the processes behind Artificial intelligence work?

It is true that AI makes a lot of things automatic. At the end of the day, though, the “human touch” is still needed. As Data Scientist, you develop AI and recognise patterns and connections that AI alone cannot. Your task is to carry out analyses, identify cause-and-effect relationships, and visualise the collected data in an appealing manner.

What can I do with data?

Data specialists wanted! Data is important everywhere – no matter the sector, no matter the business area. In the course of your studies, you can specialise in the following fields:

Marketing
Healthcare
Security
Production

After all, Data Science is used everywhere today – for making medical diagnoses, detecting financial fraud, or for personalising product proposals in online shopping. Read more about the course contents and specialisations.

What are potential lines of business for graduates of this programme?

After you have graduated from this programme, all doors are open for you. Be it as Data Scientist, Data Engineer, Web Analyst, or Sales Analyst – your skills are more sought after than ever, and the possibilities are virtually endless.
