Study with TREFFER
We make it easy for you to start your studies! We have an introductory week for first-semester students (INside week), a mentoring program (Mentoring4U) and many other additional offers. All of this is organized by the TREFFER team. TREFFER stands for TRaining, Erfolg, Fördern, FordERn.
The course is divided into three subject areas:
Computer science
You'll learn the basics of software development, deal with various operating systems and immerse yourself in the world of robot programming.
Artificial intelligence
AI is about the practical application of artificial intelligence in the fascinating field of robotics. This includes machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing and the intensive examination of ethical issues in AI.
Robotics
You'll be working with the sensors and actuators of robots, the exciting field of computer vision and the topic of robot autonomy.
Progress and responsibility
One special feature of the KIR degree programme is the ethical relevance of future technologies. We therefore sharpen our focus on ethical issues during the course. Whether it is about robots as social companions, ethics in the development of AI algorithms, AI in the service of the environment or robotics for medical applications – it's important to keep real applications and the social context in mind.
Practical orientation in the degree programme
The KIR degree programme is consistently practice-oriented and was developed together with our industry partners in line with requirements. The focus is on real-life applications. During your studies, you'll have the opportunity to develop prototypes and gain practical experience with robots and AI technologies in our labs.
The world is wide open for computer science graduates. Your degree in AI and robotics will open doors to exciting professional fields.
Your job prospects after graduation are excellent. Our computer science graduates work in well-paid top industries and have been among the most sought-after specialists for many years. There is a huge demand for highly qualified specialists in the field of AI.
Further qualification for a master's degree
After completing your bachelor's degree, you can gain further qualifications with a master's. With a Master of Science, you are ideally prepared for management responsibilities or a doctorate.
