Music "Hit N Smash" by Rafael Krux

The Master's degree program in Human-Centred AI starts in winter semester 2025/26. Applications are expected to be possible until June 1, 2025. We will provide you with further information on the application process in the coming weeks.

Developing AI systems while keeping humans in mind - that is the core topic of human-centered artificial intelligence. Such applications range from search engines and the automatic recognition of hate comments using natural language processing to personalized dialogue systems. Your studies in the M.Sc. Human-Centred Artficial Intelligence will prepare you to develop, implement and test solutions for Human-Centred AI. We provide you with the necessary advanced technical know-how in the field of computer science and data science as well as the necessary knowledge in the field of human-computer interaction and psychology!

The advantages at a glance:

Experience an exciting study program at the highest level.
Look forward to future-oriented teaching by a team of lecturers made up of young, highly renowned researchers.
Benefit from an English-language degree program and receive optimal preparation for a job in the (international) IT environment.
You can learn according to your interests and choose a specialization that can be shown on your certificate.
Study topics that are currently at the forefront of research.

What makings do I need to have?

It's up to you: Our admission procedure

If you also want to study the M.Sc. Human-Centred AI at the University of Regensburg, you should have

a Bachelor's degree with a final grade of 2.5 or better (or at least 138 LP in your current Bachelor's degree with a provisional final grade of 2.5 or better) - it is not primarily important in which subject you have completed your Bachelor's degree, but above all that you fulfill the subject requirements listed below;
successfully completed credits in the field of Information Science, i.e. in the field of natural language processing and information retrieval with at least 18 CP, in the field of empirical and statistical research with at least 12 CP and in the field of programming with 12 CP (from a total of 30 CP you can be admitted with conditions);
proof of English at level C1 CEFR or a Bachelor's thesis written in English;
International applicants must also prove their subject knowledge by taking a Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test.

The M.Sc. in Human-Centred AI can always be started in the winter semester. Further details on the requirements as well as further information on the admission procedure, deadlines and necessary documents will be available here soon.

How is the degree program structured?

The degree program is divided into 14 compulsory modules (incl. Master's thesis) with a total of 120 CP. Within many of the compulsory modules, you have thematic options and can organize your studies according to your interests!

Not to be missed: The Core

In addition to an introductory module that gives you an overview of the entire field of human-centered AI, you will complete five core modules during your studies: In AI Ethics you will discuss ethical dilemmas in AI systems, in Technologies for Human-Centred AI 1 and 2 you will develop solutions for (AI) systems by applying human-centered design principles, e.g. in the field of Natural Language Programming, Recommender Systems and Information Retrieval, and in the Free Elective module you can deepen your knowledge of topics or gain insights into new topics and trends - also in the field of Computer Science and Data Science.

What you want: The Specialization

We provide you with a framework of topics and you can choose which topics interest you the most. This is the core idea of our specialization area, in which you complete seven modules and within the modules you can choose between different courses and projects from Information Science, Computer Science, Data Science and Psychology, among others. The seven modules include: Explainable AI, Generative AI, Information Behavior, Deep Reinforcement Learning, Current Topics in Human-Centred AI, Empirical Human-Centred AI and Computational Human-Centred AI.

What you can: The (Final) Project

Towards the end of your studies, you can apply all your knowledge and skills in a project seminar by planning and implementing a project in the field of human-centered AI independently and as part of a team. If you wish, this project can result in your Master's thesis.
