PhD Study Program

Intelligent Systems Study Program

The modular postgraduate study program offers structured training for high profile young researchers. It conveys specific knowledge and skills usable for the analysis and construction of intelligent systems. Credits can be obtained by taking seminars and lectures, scientific networking at workshops, and own teaching experiences. One further integral constituent of the study program is the training in publishing and presenting of the own academic work. Gathering first experiences, also in teaching and supervising, is reflected systematically with experts. Further information can be found here.
