Approved Minors

For your Master’s Program AI, you need to select and complete a minor of 15 ECTS from a pre-approved list, ranging from Astronomy to Scandinavian Studies. These are supposed to give you an opportunity to broaden your perspective and gain experience for future employment in a related field. You cannot mix and match; you need to complete all 15 ECTS within one of these minors.

You can find the full list as well as the component modules of each minor in Campo here (everything labeled “Nebenfach” / starting with “18”).
