Is it possible for an international student to pursue AI and also do another course related to mechanical engineering simultaneously in Germany?

No, international students in Germany are generally not allowed to pursue two full-time degree programs at the same time due to visa and university regulations. Most universities require you to enroll full-time in just one program.

However, you can consider these options:
- Interdisciplinary programs: Some universities offer courses that combine AI with engineering, letting you study both fields within a single degree.
- Dual study programs: These programs blend academic study with industry training, sometimes in engineering fields.
- Sequential degrees: You can complete one degree first and then pursue another, either full-time or part-time.

Managing two full-time programs is not permitted and can be extremely challenging. If you’re interested in combining AI and Mechanical Engineering, look for interdisciplinary or dual study options.
