Structure and contents
The “AI & Design” Micro Degree consists of a combination of compulsory and elective modules. The elective modules offer the opportunity to specialise in specific AI-supported methods according to individual interests.
How does it work?
Different scopes tailored to individual needs
Learners bring different prior knowledge, interests and goals. To meet these diverse starting points, we offer flexible scopes. These make it possible to explore content in a targeted way, set individual areas of focus and learn at one’s own pace. This applies both to the introductory phase and to further specialisation and the practical transfer to professional work and research.
The scopes can be completed at different levels (ECTS equivalents):
Core (10 ECTS)
Perfect for those starting out, with a combination of foundational courses to begin your AI journey
