Program Overview: Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems (AIIS)
The international Master's program in Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems (AIIS) at the University of Bremen offers students a broad variety of research-based courses in a vibrant, interdisciplinary environment. Anchored in the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science and part of the university's high-profile area Minds, Media, Machines, the program provides comprehensive training in theoretical, practical, and applied AI.
Students specialize in two key tracks — Cognition-Enabled Robotics and Machine Learning and Cognitive Systems — choosing one as their major and the other as their minor. This dual-track structure ensures graduates develop both depth and breadth across the most in-demand areas of modern artificial intelligence research and application.
The program is designed to prepare students for research and development positions in academia or industry in the fast-growing field of AI, including roles such as scientist, research engineer, data scientist, or AI consultant. Students benefit from connections with renowned researchers at the University of Bremen and leaders of technology companies in and around Bremen through internships and Master's projects.
Key Program Highlights
- Dual specialization tracks: Cognition-Enabled Robotics and Machine Learning and Cognitive Systems
- Guided Research module with individual supervision by a professor for independent research
- Access to unique laboratories, equipment, and computing resources for courses, projects, and theses
- Part-time research or teaching assistant opportunities within university research groups
Curriculum and Modules
The AIIS curriculum is structured across four semesters and 120 credit points, combining foundational AI courses with specialization modules, a guided research project, and a Master's thesis. Students build a strong theoretical base in the first semester before progressing to advanced specialization, collaborative project work, and independent research.
Advanced Methods of AI
6 CPCovers advanced artificial intelligence methodologies including knowledge representation, reasoning, planning, and search algorithms. Students gain a deep understanding of core AI paradigms and their computational foundations.
Advanced Machine Learning
6 CPExplores state-of-the-art machine learning techniques including deep neural networks, responsible use of computational resources, and the computational complexity of modern learning methods.
Integrated Intelligent Systems
6 CPFocuses on the design and implementation of complex intelligent systems that integrate multiple AI components. Students learn to build systems that combine perception, reasoning, and action.
AI Algorithms: Theory and Engineering
6 CPBridges the gap between theoretical algorithm design and practical engineering of AI systems. Covers algorithmic efficiency, scalability, and real-world deployment of AI solutions.
Guided Research
12 CPAn independent student research project with individual supervision by a professor. Students conduct original research in their chosen specialization area and develop scientific methodology skills.
Master Project
18 CPA specialty of Bremen's computer science programs where topics of practical importance are worked on intensively in groups over a longer period. Students develop teamwork, project management, and presentation skills alongside technical expertise.
