Profile
Students of the Data Science, AI and Intelligent Systems bachelor’s programme at Hochschule Düsseldorf – University of Applied Sciences receive future-oriented education at ZDD – Centre for Digitalisation and Digitality. The study programme focuses on imparting digital qualifications in the dynamic and ever-changing areas of data science, artificial intelligence (AI) and intelligent systems.
We emphasise practical and project-based learning formats to teach students fundamental skills in programming, data visualisation, data analysis as well as in the development, evaluation and application of AI systems.
DAISY has been interdisciplinary from the start – including modules and specialisation options in all seven faculties of HSD. Our approach not only encourages a broad view on the application areas of data science and AI, but also enables students to develop solutions for complex problems.
From the 4th semester onward, students gain the option to follow their passions and choose from the following specialisa tion modules: Digital Health, Industry 4.0, Smart Energy, Digital Design and Media, Business Analytics, Digital Culture as well as Social Services and Welfare. These professional foci are at the heart of DAISY and and enable students to apply their previous knowledge in real application contexts and develop them further.
DAISY means hands-on: through direct experience and interdisciplinary collaboration students learn to use data effectively to create intelligent solutions that are both technically innovative and relevant to society.
Although some module names are in English, the main language of instruction is German. Knowledge of English is a must for working with specialist literature, especially in higher semesters.
