Five Reasons to choose this Bachelor's Program


1
Hands-on from day one
Practice from the very first semester: you apply core AI concepts hands-on and develop your own applications early on – building real, usable skills right from the start.
2
"Learning in Transformation" project
In the one-semester "Learning in Transformation" project, you solve real-world problems scientifically in a team – outcomes can range from conference papers to your own startup.
3
Specialize from the fourth semester
From the fourth semester, a wide range of elective modules lets you shape your own profile in machine learning, robotics, computer vision, and other emerging fields of AI.
4
Active Learning instead of cramming
UTN's research-based Active Learning design combines small learning groups, varied learning-oriented assignments, and regular individual feedback throughout every semester. → More Info
5
An interdisciplinary track
In interdisciplinary courses and projects, you connect computer science and AI with other fields – and engage with questions of fairness, transparency, bias, and responsibility.

Course Description


How are intelligent systems built – and how can they help solve real-world challenges responsibly? The English-taught B.Sc. Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Technology Nuremberg (UTN) combines a rigorous computer science foundation with a deep understanding of modern AI technologies. From day one, you work on hands-on projects, develop your own applications, and think beyond disciplinary boundaries – with the option of a semester abroad in your fifth semester. With one of Germany's best supervision ratios and its research-based Active Learning design, UTN offers a study experience that is personal, interactive, and firmly embedded in the dynamic Nuremberg Metropolitan Region.

Target Groups

This program is designed for school graduates with a strong interest in mathematics, computer science, and artificial intelligence. You should be curious about how intelligent systems work, enjoy analytical problem-solving, and want to apply technology to real-world challenges. As all courses are taught in English, the program suits ambitious applicants from Germany and around the world alike.

The first semesters build a strong base in mathematics and computer science: programming, algorithms and data structures, software engineering, data management, and theoretical foundations. From the fourth semester, electives let you specialize in machine learning, robotics, or computer vision. An interdisciplinary track, key competencies modules, and the two-semester Learning in Transformation research project round off the curriculum before your Bachelor's thesis.

Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence is a full-time, on-campus Bachelor's program taught entirely in English in Nuremberg. The standard duration is six semesters, during which you earn 180 ECTS credits with a workload of around 40 hours per week. Following UTN's Active Learning design, you are assessed through learning-oriented assignments spread across the semester plus a final assignment, paired with regular personal feedback.

Career Prospects

With a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, you are prepared for entry-level positions across software and systems development, AI and machine learning, data science and data engineering, IT security and digital infrastructure – as well as for further academic study. Potential career paths include:

  • Machine learning engineer or AI developer in software and technology companies
  • Software or systems developer in industrial and technology-driven organizations
  • Data scientist or data engineer across a wide range of industries
  • IT security or digital infrastructure specialist
  • AI and software specialist in fields such as industry, mobility, healthcare, or public administration
  • Technology consultant working on AI and digital transformation projects
  • Further academic study in a Master's program and, subsequently, research

Podcast


What sets human intelligence apart from artificial intelligence? At the Zukunftsmuseum in Nuremberg, Dr. Jens-Uwe Garbas (Fraunhofer IIS), Prof. Dr. Gyburg Uhlmann (UTN), and Prof. Dr. Magdalena Abel (UTN) discuss this central question. The experts from computer science, philosophy, and cognitive psychology explore the limits, opportunities, and challenges of intelligence – in both humans and machines. A conversation about science, technology, and what it means to be human – tune in now!

Testimonials

If I had to describe UTN in three words, it would be: innovation, collaboration, and practicality.

I decided to study at UTN because of its multidisciplinary curriculum and its emphasis on practical education.
