Deggendorf Institute of Technology Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the emerging technologies that will revolutionise industry and features prominently already in day-to-day life. The Deggendorf Institute of Technology (DIT) is offering a Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence and Data science that addresses the transformation brought about by AI. Graduates of this programme will have the skills needed to work with and develop AI. Namely, they will learn how to obtain, process and store enormous amounts of data at the root of AI and development processes.

This master's programme spans over two years. This programme is fully taught in English by two universities, the Deggendorf Institute of Technology and the University of South Bohemia in the Czech Republic. Alongside one compulsory in the University of South Bohemia, students must also complete an internship and a master's thesis. Upon successfully completing this programme, graduates can expect to enter the workforce in roles such as but not limited to software engineer, data scientist, machine learning engineer, software developer, IT manager.
