AI-Class Exams at the University of Freiburg

Both, the midterm and the final exam were successfully carried out in Freiburg. Shortly before Christmas the certificates for the successful participants were sent out. Thus far, the following Universities have accepted the certificates and gave credits to the students:

1. Tampere University of Technology, Finland, 6 credits, Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, MSc. Machine Automation
2. University of Heidelberg, Germany, Artificial Intelligence, MSc. Informatics
3. University of Freiburg, Faculty for Mathematics and and Physics, Germany
4. University of Heidelberg, Germany, 6 credits, MSc. Physics
5. Technical University of Dortmund, Germany
6. Faculty of Computer and Information Science, University of Ljubljana, Slowenia

Both exams, that is the midterm and final exam for the online course "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" by Prof. Sebastian Thrun and Prof. Peter Norvig, can be taken at the University of Freiburg, supervised by Prof. Wolfram Burgard. For both exams, you will have to be physically present at the location mentioned below. If you should be unable to come to Freiburg for both exams, you cannot receive the certificate.

Why you would want to do that, if you can do it at home, too? Because if you will pass the exams, you will get a certificate (in German: Schein) signed by Prof. Wolfram Burgard that you have passed the exam of the course and that this is equivalent to the AI course at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Freiburg. Typically, German and many international Universities accept such a certificate.
If you want to take part in both exams at the University of Freiburg, please write an e-mail to Wolfram Burgard to enroll:
burgard@informatik.uni-freiburg.de. Please use the subject "Stanford AI Course Exam Registration" for your email. Please note that it does not make sense to send registration requests after the mid-term exam in Freiburg has been carried out. Only students who were in Freiburg for the mid-term exam can also come for the final exam.

The Midterm Exam successfully took place on the 19th of November from 1pm to 4pm.

The Final exam will take place on December 17 from 1pm to 4pm in the very same location as the mid-term exam. It will be organized in the very same fashion. It will take place at the University of Freiburg, Technische Fakultät, Georges-Köhler-Alle, in building 101, room 036.
If you should arrive by car please let us know so that we can organize parking.
