Yes. The curriculum has an English-speaking branch, so you can complete the whole program in English.

Yes, with the University of Bologna (Italy). You must study at least one semester abroad. Places are limited, so students are selected based on their transcript of records and a motivation letter (see the Double Degree section below).

Your qualifying degree must include a minimum number of credits in three competence areas:

Up to 10 of the 30 ECTS in intelligent or interactive systems may come from related courses in other disciplines, such as neurobiology, psychology, linguistics or philosophy.

Yes. The overall grade of your qualifying degree must be 2.7 or better on the German scale, which runs from 1.0 (best) to 4.0.

CEFR level B2 or an equivalent, for example:

• TOEFL with at least 72 points
• IELTS score of 5.5
• Cambridge First Certificate (FCE)

The German Abitur also qualifies. English proficiency is recognized as well if your qualifying degree was taught in English; in this case, please submit a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate.

Applications are accepted only from June 1 to July 15 via the online portal campus.uni-bielefeld.de. Applications before or after this period are not possible.

• Transcript of records
• Certificates of your educational degrees
• CV
• Language certificate
• A description (in the application portal, related to each competence area A,B,C) listing all credits earned at official higher education institutions in the three required competence areas (see above)

All documents must be in German or English, or come with a recognized English translation. Credits in your table should be the local credits of your home institution, as confirmed by your transcript of records. We will convert them to ECTS when we process your application.

No. A VPD (preliminary review documentation from uni-assist) is currently not required.

For the winter semester, enrollment must be completed by November 11 at the latest. Once enrolled, you can take part in courses.

If you miss a significant part of the courses, you will most likely not be able to complete them, because you miss exercises or sessions where tasks are assigned. You can still continue the program; you will take those courses in a later semester.

If you are admitted but cannot enroll in time for the winter semester, you can apply for deferred enrollment. You keep your admission and enroll for a later winter semester. Such deferrals have been granted in the past and are likely in the future, but this is not officially guaranteed.

In principle, yes. You must meet the general admission requirements and prove additional credits in relevant subjects of at least 15 ECTS per semester.
