Discover the flexible pathways to a Micro Degree at Leibniz AI Academy, designed to fit your unique learning journey. From core to advanced models, our structured approach offers a blend of foundation, specialisation, and application courses, allowing you to customise your AI education to match your career goals.
You can obtain a Micro Degree at different categories (of ECTS equivalents):
- Core (10 ECTS): Perfect for beginners, combining fundamental courses to kickstart your AI journey.
- Basic (15 ECTS): Builds on foundational knowledge with added specialisation for a deeper understanding.
- Standard (20 ECTS): Offers a balanced mix of foundation, specialisation, and application courses to broaden your expertise.
- Advanced (25 ECTS): Designed for those seeking comprehensive knowledge with extensive specialisation.
Each program offers a Micro Degree of varying difficulty levels and is designed for a different target group depending on their qualification. These modules can additionally be taken as part of degree programmes and others as additional qualifications. Moreover, you can upgrade your Micro Degree. For instance, if you have already obtained the "Core" Micro Degree, you can take additional courses to achieve the "Foundation" level.
How does it work?
You can obtain ECTS (credentials) for your Micro Degree by completing courses which are assigned to three different categories:
- Foundation Courses: Fundamental concepts in fields related to AI
- Specialisation Courses: Specific Niches in AI
- Application Courses: Domain-Specific Applications of AI
You can combine these courses to form a path, at the end of which you will receive a Micro Degree! The path you choose will depend on your particular background and exposure to AI.
Students with few or no prior knowledge in AI
For people who have either very minimal experience with AI, or no prior knowledge, we provide three learning paths to a Micro Degree.
Core Path
You first take a foundation course that can either be Data Science Foundations or Machine Learning, and then choose any application courses of their choice
Basic Path
You can combine a foundation course with another foundation course, a specialisation course, or another application course along with a final application course.
Standard Path
You can either combine two foundation courses with a specialisation and application course or combine one foundation and specialisation with two applications.
Students of Computer Science B.Sc. and M.Sc., and students with good prior knowledge
For students who have previously studied AI related subjects as part of their B.Sc and M.Sc program, we provide a more exhaustive set of paths to a Micro Degree paths called: Foundation, Standard and Advanced
Basic Path
Combine a foundation course with a specialisation and an application, or combine two specialisations with an application.
Standard Path
Combine a foundation course with either two specialisations and one application or two applications and one specialisation.
Advanced Path
Two foundations and specialisation, or one foundation and three specialisations with an application, or a foundation with two specialisations and applications.
