RWTH Aachen University
Program Overview
The programme will educate participants to successfully master the novel technical and economic challenges at the crossroads of computer science, software engineering, next-generation communication systems, and intelligent systems. It consists of three main blocks: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Human-Centred and Interactive Technologies Use and Societal Impact Two mandatory courses introduce the students to the first two blocks: "Introduction to Learning Systems and Data Science" and "Designing Interactive Systems". In the third block, courses like "AI Ethics" are going to be offered. Students who want to follow yet another additional interest from general computer science can follow their interest in a small optional fourth block. The programme is particularly special in offering a significant proportion of research lab courses embedded in both basic and applied research of the participating Fraunhofer Institutes of Applied Information Technology (FIT) and Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems (IAIS). A further lab can be done at the university, at the Fraunhofer institutes, or in cooperation with industry. Major topics covered by courses offered include: Data Science Advanced Methods of Text Mining Pattern Matching and Machine Learning Computer Graphics/Animation/Visualisation Speech/Image/Video Processing and Technology Virtual and Augmented Reality Designing Interactive Systems Management of Information and Knowledge Explainable AI and Applications Business Process Intelligence and eBusiness Cooperative Work Environments The course of study also includes methodological aspects of designing intelligent interactive systems from the perspectives of software engineering, usability, interaction design, and business requirements.

Academic Admission
A HCISA candidate should have a recognised first degree (Bachelor of Science or Engineering) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Informatics, or other closely related disciplines , awarded by an internationally recognised university-level institution. If a candidate has another first degree the background in computer science, maths and engineering should still be strong, otherwise a bridging course will be required or the application is not eligible for admission. (Please note that we do not check the eligibility of applicants via e-mail; you need to apply.) The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test is mandatory for your application . Applications without GRE General Test results will be rejected immediately. For English-taught programmes at RWTH Aachen University, candidates must be able to speak and write fluently in English (details below). Candidates should have also performed above average in their undergraduate studies and should have a substantial background in computer science and mathematics. The candidate needs to provide credits in the following areas : At least 28 CP from the field of applied computer science, including: min. 8 CP in programming min. 8 CP in data structures and algorithms min. 6 CP in databases and information systems min. 6 CP in elements of machine learning and data science min. 6 CP in software technology At least 18 cp from the field of computer engineering, including: min. 6 CP in computer & electrical engineering min. 6 CP in operating systems and system software min. 4 CP in IT security min. 6 CP in data communication and security At least 18 CP from the field of theoretical computer science, including: min. 6 CP in formal systems, automats and processes min. 6 CP in computability and complexity min. 6 CP in mathematical logic At least 26 CP from the field of mathematics, including: min. 6 CP in discrete structures min. 8 CP in mathematical analysis min. 6 CP in linear algebra min. 6 CP in applied stochastics Please note that credits are calculated by the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System . In case substantial background knowledge is missing, a bridging course can be assigned as an additional programme requirement. If more than 22 CP are missing, the candidate is not accepted for admission . Please note that we do not check for eligibility before the application deadline or via e-mail.
