Whereas the academic degree program in Computer Science covers a broad spectrum of subject areas in computer sciences, the "Artificial Intelligence" program lets you specialize in certain areas. Learn how to develop algorithms and systems to teach machines cognitive abilities that can compare to - or even surpass - human intelligence. This includes - but is not limited to - machine sensing, learning, reasoning, scheduling, speech recognition, and automated decision making.

In addition to software development, the degree program in Computer Science focuses on the fundamentals and methods in the areas of hardware, theory, and applications. This includes subject areas such as Machine Learning, Internet of Things, Networks and Security, Model Checking, Cryptography, Computer Graphics, Multimedia, Operating Systems, Databases and Information Systems. The German-language undergraduate degree program in Computer Science provides base-knowledge to lay the foundations. The English-language Master's degree program gives students an opportunity to specialize in one of six main areas (Computational Engineering, Data Science, Intelligent Information Systems, Networks and Security, Pervasive Computing, Software Engineering).

The AI degree program focuses initially on basic principles including programming, mathematics, statistics and logic followed by machine learning, data sciences, reasoning and speech processing. Whereas the undergraduate degree program provides instruction in the basic components of AI, students in the graduate degree program explore modern AI methods in depth that combine deep learning, recurrent networks, and reinforcement learning. The Master's degree program also includes an elective track allowing students to specialize in applied areas such as mechatronic systems, knowledge-based systems, and life sciences. Both the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs in AI are taught in English.

The AI program is offered at the JKU's satellite campus in Vienna (German only) and at the JKU's satellite campus in Bregenz (German only) in the form of a live stream or as a video conference.
Faculty members hold the courses in classrooms at the JKU campus.

Video recordings of the class sessions will be made available online via the Moodle learning platform.
Examinations will be taken largely on-site in Linz or in Vienna & Bregenz.

You will have to come to the JKU campus at least once in order to complete the admissions process in person (click here for detailed information about enrolling in the program).
Courses held by faculty members at the JKU campus will either be streamed live or shown via video conference at the JKU's satellite campus in Vienna (German only) and Bregenz (German only).
There are only a few examinations that will be given on-site in Linz, Vienna and Bregenz as most of the examinations will take place online (at the moment, examinations are currently online only).

No. You will have to come to Linz at least once in order to complete the admissions procedure in person and therefore officially enroll at the university. Some courses will require being in the classroom, either in Linz, Vienna, or Bregenz.
In addition, you will have to take some of the examinations in person in Linz, Vienna, or Bregenz. Click here for updated information in regard to enrollment. At the moment, all examinations are currently online only.
