Academic Admission

Applicants are eligible for admission if they have completed a Bachelor's degree of at least 180 ECTS credits (three year full-time study) in the fields of data science, mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science, business informatics or a closely related field. All applicants must prove the following upon application: 30 credit points (900 hours) in mathematics and computer science including at least 20 credit points in mathematics, of which 5 credit points in probability theory or statistics 5 credit points in analysis or linear algebra 10 credit points in computer science, of which 5 credit points in the field of algorithms 5 credit points in a higher programming language (preferably Python) Students without a degree in the fields of data science, mathematics, statistics, physics, computer science, or business informatics must prove an additional 15 credit points (450 hours) in data science. Competencies in data science can also be proven with work experience in the field. If students can prove 20 credit point in mathematics and 10 credit points in computer science and do not miss more than five credit points in the areas of statistics and algorithms/programming, they may catch up on missing competencies in an additional module. Please note that one ECTS credit point equals 30 hours of work including courses, preparation, self-study and exams. Students will be admitted based on a ranking order. The admissions committee will evaluate the applicant based on the documents presented. The degree of eligibility depends upon the sum of the points from categories A and B. The maximum number of points is six.

Category B: Further points can be obtained through additional qualifications. Please include relevant documents in your application (e.g. employer's reference, internship certificate, supervisor's certificate). These are evaluated by the admissions committee using the criteria outlined below: Relevant professional or scientific activity in the field of data science or machine learning (work experience, internships, Bachelor's thesis; at least three months full-time work) – one point per activity, max. two points in total. Documents to be included in the application: The following documents must be enclosed with the application in German or English. (Documents in other languages will need to be accompanied by certified translations): Bachelor's degree and transcript of records completed specific eligibility form (to be found on course website and in application portal) proof of mastery of English (see language requirements) if applicable, certificates concerning relevant internships or work experience the subject of the Bachelor's thesis We do not ask for letters of recommendation or letters of motivation!
