Description

In today's rapidly changing world, the rise of machine learning and artificial intelligence is causing major shifts in both society and businesses. AI is already making an impact in our daily lives by providing decision-making support and performing tasks that exceed human capabilities. While artificial general intelligence is yet to be developed, narrow AI has achieved remarkable success in fields such as medicine and merchandise management.

Our online Master in Artificial Intelligence offers a comprehensive program that delves deep into machine learning. With the 60-ECTS option, you can focus on specific areas such as computer-based language and image processing, smart manufacturing in Industry 4.0, or autonomous vehicles. For those seeking further specialisation, the 120-ECTS option offers even more opportunities.

At IU International University of Applied Sciences, all of our study programs are conducted in English to prepare you for the international job market. Plus, we offer recognition of prior learning at no cost to you, which can save you valuable time and reduce tuition fees. Don't miss out on the chance to shape your future in the exciting field of AI.

Dual Degree

With the IU and LSBU (London South Bank University) dual degree , you get a unique opportunity – you can choose if you want to graduate with both a German and a British graduation certificate, without any extra academic requirements. The study programmes at IU and at LSBU are coordinated and therefore equivalent to each other.

Start your studies at IU, and if you want to apply for your British certificate* all you have to do is send in your application and pay the required fee. As an MBA student, please make sure that you have at least 2+ years of relevant work experience at the time of your application.** You’ll then be awarded a degree from LSBU following your graduation if all of your study requirements have been fulfilled successfully.

Graduate with a German Bachelor’s, MBA or Master’s degree – along with a UK Bachelor’s with Honours (Hons), MBA or Master’s.

Careers

Your Artificial Intelligence career outlook

A Master’s degree in Artificial Intelligence creates exciting career opportunities. It will enable you to develop sophisticated AI systems and applications. Once you’ve completed your online Master in Artificial Intelligence, you could work as...

As a senior AI scientist, you are responsible for the design and development of AI-based systems such as intelligent assistance systems or automated decision systems. You also work at the interface between humans and machines at all times - a very trend-setting work environment. As a Senior AI Scientist, you also act as a mentor for juniors, lead a team, and support important decision-making processes.

As AI team lead, you have deep-level know-how: you are entrusted with building up a team of senior and junior AI specialists and take over important hiring and personnel decisions. As a team lead, you keep an eye on all projects and make sure that results are delivered in a high-quality and timely manner. You also communicate with internal and external stakeholders and advise on new developments.

Combining human and artificial intelligence is one of the biggest challenges when it comes to designing our workplace of the future. Alongside the opportunities to bring valuable AI services to a wide range of products come challenges and questions about best practices and guidelines for user-friendly design. As an AI interaction designer, your main responsibility is to design the work environment so that humans and machines can work together in a meaningful way.
