Intelligent Systems

Master of Science (M.Sc.)


Starting winter semester 2020/21, the new Master's degree program "Intelligent Systems" will replace "Information Systems". You can no longer apply for IS.

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 analyze, structure and use this gigantic flood of data and its interconnections strategically has a competitive advantage.

Understanding and creating such systems requires in-depth understanding of current research, especially in the domain of artificial intelligence and data science. In many cases, new abilities in intelligent systems are rather learned instead of being programmed.

The application-oriented Master’s degree program Intelligent Systems (ISY) pursues precisely this aim. Based on scientific methodology, in three semesters, it will enable you to understand, design and implement complex, distributed and large Intelligent 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.

Prerequisites

To apply for the Master’s degree program ISY, you need a Bachelor’s degree in a computer science related subject. You must have at least 60 ECTS credits acquired from the study of computer science-based subjects. Another prerequisite is successful participation in a selection interview, where you must achieve a grade of at least "pass" (4.0). As the lectures are conducted in English, excellent written and spoken English is an additional requirement.

Course schedule


The individual modules on the Master’s degree program are each assigned to one of four subject groups: "Artificial Intelligence", “Design and Realization of Complex IT Systems”, “IT Management”, “Electives”. An important feature of the degree program is the “Intelligent Systems Project”, which takes place over the first two semesters.

As this degree program is also intended for international students, lectures will be conducted in English.

After successful completion of the degree program you will be awarded the academic degree title “Master of Science”.

Career prospects

The degree program is accredited and will qualify you to enter the civil service on the “höheren Dienst” career path. It will also qualify you to undertake a doctoral degree.


Successful completion of the Master’s degree program ISY will provide you with excellent career prospects. As the study “JobTrends Deutschland 2015” by Staufenbiel shows, computer scientists are the stars of the jobs market. For 2015, almost half of the organizations were expecting a similarly high demand as for the previous year, and 38 per cent even expected an increased demand for IT graduates. The companies are also optimistic when looking ahead at the coming five years: 15 per cent specified their need as “strongly increasing” and 51 per cent as “increasing”. Here a Master’s degree can offer you particularly good career opportunities. According to the study, 92 per cent of companies prefer computer scientists with a Master’s qualification.​
