Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Informatics Bachelor with One Core Subject (Academic)

The importance of intelligent, cognitive systems is increasing in many areas of everyday life. Mobile service robots, personal assistants, highly automated production facilities, autonomous vehicles or intelligent support systems in medicine and care - all of this is made possible by modern information technology, whose information-processing processes are increasingly orientated towards the cognitive abilities of humans and animals. In this way, complex information (texts, images, spoken language) can be processed and the behaviour of machine systems can be flexibly adapted to different and novel situations. The Faculty of Technology at Bielefeld University offers a tailor-made Bachelor's degree programme in Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Informatics that teaches practical skills and knowledge that enable students to contribute to the development and implementation of cognitive, information-processing systems. The degree programme closely combines the teaching of theories and methods of computer science and artificial intelligence with those of cognitive science and neuroscience. Bielefeld University is one of the top national and international universities in the field of researching and developing intelligent systems. Students benefit from this already during their Bachelor's degree and increasingly during their Master's and doctoral studies by gaining an insight into current research and being able to study and research abroad thanks to the Faculty's broad international cooperation.
