Read our story: Using AI in Studying – What You Should Know

I want to study – is there something on the topic of AI?

These study programmes focus on artificial intelligence. Gain the latest know-how on topics such as machine learning, data engineering, and ethics and legal regulations on AI:

• Bachelor: Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
• Master: Data Intelligence

In addition:
Many other study programmes at USTP teach extensive AI content – hands-on, multidimensional and designed for the future.  

• For example, students of  Creative Computing may choose from over 40 ECTS credits in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and AI for their electives. 
• AI also plays an key role in study programmes such as Cyber Security and Resilience, Media Technology or Digital Healthcare – each with a unique focus tailored to industry needs.
• Explore all study programmes in the field of "Computer Science & AI"

Good to know: AI is also a topic outside of these specialised study programmes. All study programmes teach AI basics – hands-on and future-proof.
