Data Science

With a BSc in Data Science, you will become the next generation analyst—a data scientist with comprehensive analytical and technical skills covering all aspects of handling and analyzing data. By deriving key insights from data, you will be driving the decision-making of the future. You will learn to work in interdisciplinary teams and not only make sense of vast amounts of data but also use your organizational knowledge and market understanding to make a difference.

Businesses and other organizations worldwide are accumulating enormous quantities of data for software or market research, disaster prediction, investment analysis, policy development, artificial intelligence, preventive initiatives in health, and much more. However, there is a widespread lack of professionals with the know-how to harvest intelligence from this data.

During the three-year program, you will receive extensive teaching in the technical subjects of mathematics and statistics for data sciences; programming; machine learning; algorithms development; and data management; as well as in social science applications; research methods; data visualization; communication; and critical reflection. This will ensure the comprehensive interdisciplinary knowledge you will need as a data scientist. Here are some examples of cases we could be working on: Twitter analysis Election Prediction via Social Media Topic Modeling Facebook analysis: detecting friends and enemies in social networks with over a million users Detecting contradictions in live debate recommendation systems: personalized automated product recommendation systems for e-commerce marketing design; automated accurate target group analysis for marketing campaigns over millions of users
