Hi everyone I will apply next year for a master in ML at Tübingen University or DS at HHU Düsseldorf but during my bachelor’s I didn’t have the opportunity to take courses in these subjects. Does anyone knows any course that I could take to fulfil these requirments? I asked the Admission Department at Tübingen but they didn’t gave me an answer, they just told me that they can’t answer me because they have not time.

I saw courses in University of Phoenix and UMass Global but since the university didn’t told me if this courses were accepted, I don’t know if it is good to take these courses.

Thanks everyone.

PS: It should be for bachelor’s level credit because sadly edX, Coursera, etc are not accepted.
The courses I saw are:

  1. as far as i am concerned the courses must be within your bachelors curriculum and not external courses, you cant just take a course and say i fulfilled requirement X, since you need to have the official documentation (degree, course credit hours, course description and grades) from an accredited university

  2. Depending on the university, you can do missing bachelor courses in your first master semester if you come from other universities. But unfortunately I don’t know how to find that out, maybe the Studiengang has a Studienberatung or something similar?

  3. > I didn’t have the opportunity to take courses in these subjects.

    Talk to the professors at the uni where you are currently studying. If they know another professor from Tübingen or Düsseldorf (which is likely, assuming you are at a uni that also does ML or DS), usually something can be arranged. As in “read this book from beginning to end, have prof X do an oral exam about it at your current uni, and we’ll accept this as credits in this case”.

    At least at German unis, self-study is a valid option, though you rarely get to do it below Masters. At least that’s how it was handled when I was studying.
