Applying for a degree course

The programme starts in the winter semester (October 1st). 

Application period

Applications for this degree may be submitted through the online application system from May 2 to August 31 or Nov. 15 to Feb. 15 each year.Please find all relevant info on application on our Master application from abroad-pages.

Requirements

• A Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline with either 210 ECTS credit points is required. Plese see the Statutes of ths course for details
• Please follow the link to master application for detailled information.

• The programme is held in German, so a high level of German proficiency, usually at least level B2, is required.

   

Dubious Application Agencies

Currently, THI is receiving an increasing amount of information regarding fraudulent activities in connection with student applications to THI. Therefore, it is important for you to know the following:

1. THI does not work with agencies. Please apply directly to THI via the Primuss application portal.
2. THI never asks for money via agencies for application purposes. 
3. THI only sends emails from @thi.de. 
4. THI never asks for money before you receive your admission letter. If you need a VPD from uni-assist, you will have to pay a processing fee to uni-assist. However, uni-assist only checks certain documents and does not grant admission to THI. 
5. The application process is conducted in the THI Primuss portal. Only there will you be able to access your application progress.

Graduates can work in any company or industry in which artificial intelligence methods and techniques are developed and used. In addition to working as a developer, consulting tasks are also conceivable. The Master's also qualifies for a possible career in the scientific field with an optional doctorate.

The Master's program in Artificial Intelligence deepens the Bachelor's program in Artificial Intelligence offered at THI. It thus requires solid knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning. These may have been acquired either through relevant study or provable practical experience.

Required prerequisites are:

• Degree in a Bachelor's program in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Computational Linguistics or an equivalent Bachelor's program.
• German language skills at a B2 level
• Solid prior knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning. These will be inquired about via an aptitude test.

The master's program is closely linked to the AI research institute AININ here at THI. The compulsory lectures, for example, are held by the THI's AI research professors, who thus also bring current research topics into the courses. There is also the possibility to start directly as a research assistant in an AI research group here at the THI after a successful master's degree.

Another special feature is the proportion of selectable modules. Here, you will be able to take modules from the "neighboring" master's programs Business Information Systems Engineering and Cloud Applications and Security Engineering. This allows you to combine the contents of the Master's programs and to integrate competencies in one of the core topics of the other programs into your Master's program. However, the focus of your studies will naturally remain on the topics of artificial intelligence.

The suitability procedure is explained in detail in Art. 4 of the Study and Examination Regulations (SPO): if you meet the application requirements (according to Art. 3) and submit your complete application (1), this application will be reviewed by two professors (2) based on the criteria and expertise defined in (3). Thus, the eligibility process will be based on your application - not on an examination, interview or other performance.

Yes. You do not have to demonstrate knowledge in all of the areas asked. If you have little or no knowledge and experience in one or the other area, this is not a problem.

Yes, some modules are held in English. This is the case, for example, for the module "Social Implications of Artificial Intelligence". Starting in the summer semester of 2025, it is planned to switch the entire course of study completely to English.
