Ask ChatGPT how long a day on Jupiter actually lasts, or have Canva create a picture of a dancing penguin on a surfboard: Anyone can do a bit of AI - surely you can too! But to really understand what's behind AI systems and what social elements need to be considered when using or designing such technologies, you need more extensive skills and abilities.

Students of all study disciplines, enrolled a partner university.
You will be registered as a regular mobility student at the University of Graz for two semesters, with the opportunity to attend all courses entirely online (virtual mobility). Of course, this opportunity is also open to students who spend a physical mobility at the University of Graz.
Upon completion of the programme, you will get a certificate of the University including a transcript of all completed courses as well as a detailed description of the competences gained.
Virtual mobility means that you are enrolled as a mobility student for one or two semesters but you do not have to be at the university itself, because the courses are offered online.
No, the programme is offered in German and English. To successfully follow the courses, your English should be at a minimum B2 level.
You do not have to pay tuition fee for participation, only a registration fee for enrolment each semester (approx. 25 €) is required. However, this will be refunded upon successful completion of the programme within one academic year when the certificate is awarded.
The courses are held the winter and summer semesters. Participation always begins at the start of the winter semester, as the courses in the summer semester build on the knowledge acquired in the autumn/winter. The modules are completed after two semesters.
All courses are offered online. This means that you do not have to spend a semester abroad in Graz in order to participate! All courses can be completed through digital participation. This not only makes participation easier, but also gives you the opportunity to gain a little "abroad experience" from home.
Of course, you will acquire a wide range of knowledge about AI through the courses, which will not only be useful to you in everyday life, but also in your professional future. But that's not all: after completing all modules, you will receive 16 ECTS . In addition, all participants will receive a recognised certificate at the end, which will make your acquired skills visible for your CV or job interviews.
