Our innovative teaching and learning approach is based on extensive research findings and allows you to participate actively in the learning process and reflect on your learning activities. Instead of just learning by heart, you will complete learning-oriented tasks throughout the semester and receive regular personal feedback on your progress from the lecturers.

Curriculum:
- Semester: Laying the foundations together
In the first semester, you lay the foundation for your studies. Through the Foundation Modules, you strategically expand your knowledge in subject areas that are new to you. During the admission process, it is assessed which modules will help you build a solid base. Additionally, you will engage with artificial intellgence in two modules: You will not only learn the technical basics, but also understand the social and legal contexts that shape artificial intelligence and its use.
- Semester: Deepen your specialist knowledge
You deepen your knowledge in the three core disciplines of Philosophy, Psychology, and Computer Science. At the same time, you begin to shape your individual profile: with your first Elective Module, you can take advantage of the broad course offerings at UTN. Whether you choose a disciplinary focus, which will be shown on your Master’s certificate, or make interdisciplinarity your own program – the choice is yours. Your academic mentor will support you. Additionally, you will start the Learning-in-Transformation-Project with your fellow students: Over two semesters, theory and practice will be connected as you apply your knowledge to real-world projects and exchange experiences during courses.
- Semester: Find interdisciplinary solutions and build your profile
Now the heart of the Master’s program awaits you: the combination of disciplines in interdisciplinary dialogue. In the modules “AI & Ethics”, “AI & Psychology” and “Philosophy, Psychology & AI”, you and your fellow students will always work with two professors from different disciplines on real-life research questions. At the same time, you develop your profile further by choosing additional elective modules – according to your interests and goals.
- Semester: Your successful Master’s degree
In your Master’s thesis, you address a research question and find the answer to it. Your degree not only reflects your individually designed study profile, but also shows that you can look beyond your own disciplinary horizons and enter into a dialog with different disciplines.
Key-Competencies-Modules: Keep an eye on your career and develop yourself further
In addition to the core modules, you can prepare for your professional future in the Key Competencies modules. Whether it’s programming skills, key competencies, or entrepreneurial thinking – these modules will optimally prepare you for your career.
