Not just AI Engineering — AI in every field
At BAU, AI is not the subject of specific departments but a shared area of competence for all students. Students experience how AI transforms their own professions across different fields — from engineering to health, from law to communication, from education to design.
AI Engineering
Designed for students who want to specialize in machine learning, data science, algorithms, software development and smart systems. Students grow into individuals who not only use AI technologies, but develop, evaluate and apply them across different sectors.
Explore the ProgramEach faculty evaluates AI in line with its discipline's professional applications, ethical responsibilities and learning outcomes. For details, visit the faculty's own page.
Safe use
In every program, the limits of use are set by taking into account the course's learning outcomes, principles of academic integrity, data security, human oversight and the professional responsibilities of the relevant field. Digital Trust Standards →
AI-focused graduate learning paths
At the BAU Graduate Education Institute, AI is treated both as a direct area of specialization and as an interdisciplinary field of study that intersects with data, engineering, security, financial technology, game design and digital transformation.
