The programme deepens the students’ knowledge and skills in computer science and research methods in the field of data science — an emerging interdisciplinary subject at the borderlines between computer science, mathematics and communication. The students will study and apply methods and algorithms that are used by data analysts and engineers working at the forefront of research. The programme covers the entire data management process from data collection,,through to data processing and analysis and ultimately to visualisation and reporting of results. Students will use techniques within a variety of fields such as applied mathematics and statistics, machine learning and cloud services for large data sets. They will translate their knowledge into practice by tackling real-life, data science-related issues and challenges that arise in both the private sector and society at large. In this way, students will build up a repertoire of tools and systems and the ability to determine how to use them to solve specific problems
