Master Data Science

Research in the field of data science requires solid skills in managing and storing massive amounts of data as well as the ability to develop efficient mathematical algorithms for data analysis. These techniques are employed in complex applications in natural science, engineering and social science.

The specialized Master's degree programme in data science equips students with all relevant knowledge and skills while combining theoretical foundations with practical experience. A central part of the program is the Data Science Laboratory, where students tackle specific and practical problems of interdisciplinary applications. In this course students engage in all tasks - from the process modelling to the implementation and validation of data science techniques.

Medicine, finance or environment: data science is used in most fields and thus enables graduates of the program to work in their industry of choice. Regardless of the industry, most large companies have data scientists working for or with them. A Data Science education emerges as one of the most valued academic competence in the information society of today.

The Master in Data Science is a joint programme offered by the departments of Computer Science, Mathematics as well as Information Technology and Electrical Engineering.
