About the Program

The Master’s programme in Intelligent Interactive Systems provides the training of knowledge and skills that enable students to analyse, design and develop state-of-the-art cognitive systems. Such cognitive systems are characterised by their ability to perceive a complex or open environment and to interact with it intelligently. An essential feature of such systems is their ability to learn and thus to adapt to unknown or changing environments, tasks, or users. Such systems are relevant in many areas such as robotics, autonomous agents, assistive systems, recommender systems or web information systems. Students in the programme will be increasingly enabled to work independently according to the scientific principles of machine learning and cognitive computer science. In addition to imparting knowledge, the Master’s programme explicitly focuses on providing practical, professional skills as well as abilities such as interdisciplinary research methods, critical thinking, and teamwork. The contents of the study programme reflect the current developments towards modern intelligent systems that interact autonomously with their environment.
