Application process

Application requirements

You need a completed relevant Bachelor’s degree or an equivalent degree of at least three years from a recognised higher education institution.

Your previous studies should include sufficient coursework in the following areas:

• Mathematics and Natural Sciences: at least 10 ECTS
• Engineering (e.g. Mechanics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Automation Engineering, Measurement, Control or Production Engineering, Technical Product and System Development): at least 45 ECTS
• Computer Science, Programming, Data Processing, Simulation or Digital Engineering Methods: at least 5 ECTS
• Business, Management or Project Management: at least 5 ECTS
• English language proficiency at B2 level is required.

Not sure whether your Bachelor’s degree meets the requirements? 

Applications are assessed individually. If individual subject requirements are not fully covered, additional examinations may be defined as part of the admission process. 

Do I Already Need to Be an AI Expert?

No. Previous specialisation in Artificial Intelligence is not required.

The programme builds the necessary programming, mathematical, statistical and Machine Learning foundations before moving towards more advanced Industrial AI applications. What matters is a suitable technical background and a strong interest in connecting Engineering and AI.
