KI-Projekte
The programme contains two mandatory AI project modules, each with 10 ECTS and about 300 hours of work. Each of these modules has to be fulfilled via practical courses (these might be called differently at different Chairs, e.g., "Praktikum" , "Lab", "Project", "Team Project") in which you're expected to carry out hands-on work in AI.
There is no central catalogue of practical projects offered, so you need to contact the Chair with whom you're interested in doing the project and ask for a spot. Be aware that the practical course that you're taking must correspond to the prescribed ECTS of the project modules, that is, the corresponding project courses must have a 10 ECTS load. The topic of your project for each of the two labs must clearly be an AI topic. Perhaps self-explanatory, but projects from other areas of CS (i.e., not AI) cannot be credited for the AI projects.
