Data & AI Literacy

The concepts, possibilities and limitations of data and AI — so you can join any conversation on solid ground.

Why this module

Why this matters

AI terms come at you from all sides: LLM, hallucination, training, inference, bias. If you master the concepts, you see through the hype and spot opportunities others miss.

Literacy also means reading claims critically. What does '95% accurate' really mean? What can a model actually do, and what can it definitely not? You train that level-headedness throughout all four years.

Content

What you will learn

Application

Directly in your own practice

New concepts and developments surface in every module — this learning strand makes sure you keep mastering them.

Hype or opportunity

You analyse a current AI announcement: what is genuinely new, what is marketing?

Vendor claim

You dissect a product claim ('99% accurate!') and formulate the questions you would ask as a buyer.

Explaining

You explain an AI concept to a colleague without a technical background — the ultimate test of understanding.

How you work

Learning alongside your job

You take this module the way you take the whole programme: classes every other week on Friday and Saturday, with a study load of 15–20 hours per week, of which 10–15 hours is self-study. The teaching is a mix of classroom sessions, workplace learning, blended learning and working groups or study teams — taught by lecturers who practise the profession themselves on a daily basis.

You conclude each theme with a professional product or a technical solution addressing a real situation in your own work, which you discuss in an assessment with the lecturer. This way your portfolio grows with real work — and your employer benefits directly.

By the end you are the colleague who can make sense of AI developments — level-headed, up to date and well-founded.
