Computing - Data Science

The Computing programme is focused on the computer as a universal information-processing machine, and methods of its application in various domains.

The computing field includes theory, analysis and synthesis, design and construction, application and operation of computer systems. Students will gain competencies to solve advanced engineering problems, design complex systems, act as project leaders, and conduct research and development in data science.

 

COMP Data Science

Duration of study programme: 2 years
ECTS points: 120
Qualification awarded: Master of Science in Computing

Data science combines computer science and statistics with the goal to solve exciting data-intensive problems in industry and science. Increasing amounts of data are collected in many areas generating a high demand for professional data scientists. Data science profile provides students with strong foundations in mathematics, statistical modelling, machine learning, and other knowledge required to work on data science applications such as analysis of massive data sets, complex systems, information and social networks, knowledge discovery, business analytics, signal processing, natural language processing, bioinformatics, computer vision, big data, deep learning, financial series analysis, and high-performance computing.
