Master in Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence

Tuition is No tuition fees; 200 EUR/semester.

The MSc in Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence at the University of Regensburg is a four-semester programme that combines computer science, data science, human-computer interaction, and psychology. It prepares students to develop, implement, and test solutions for AI systems that keep humans at the centre, spanning applications from natural language processing and recommender systems to personalised dialogue systems. The programme begins in the winter semester. The curriculum consists of 14 compulsory modules including the Master's thesis. A core area covers an introductory overview of the field, AI Ethics, two Technologies for Human-Centred AI modules addressing natural language processing, recommender systems and information retrieval, and a Free Elective. The specialisation area comprises seven modules including Explainable AI, Generative AI, Information Behaviour, Deep Reinforcement Learning, Current Topics in Human-Centred AI, Empirical Human-Centred AI, and Computational Human-Centred AI; within many modules, students choose between courses and projects from Information Science, Computer Science, Data Science, and Psychology. Towards the end of the programme, students carry out a project seminar in which they plan and implement an independent team-based research project, which may lead into the Master's thesis. Courses take the form of lectures with accompanying classes, seminars, and project seminars, with exercises, presentations, written papers, and project documentation used as examinations depending on the format. The programme is offered at the University of Regensburg in Regensburg, Germany.
