Program Overview

Introduction to the Data Science Program

The Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science at the Warsaw University of Technology offers a graduate program in Data Science. This program is one of the first European programs in Data Science and is fully focused on data engineering and data analytics.

Program Details

• Duration: The program lasts for 1.5 years (standard) or 2 years (extended), with the graduate studies starting in October (4-semester program) or February (3-semester program).
• Focus: The program provides in-depth knowledge and skills needed to process and analyze growing volumes of data, with special emphasis on natural language processing, analysis of network data, and programming skills in languages suited for data processing, such as Python.
• Curriculum: The program combines knowledge of key algorithms, methods, languages, and platforms used in data acquisition, storage, processing, analysis, and visualization with hands-on experience in solving real-world problems defined by the industry.
• Research Opportunities: Each student chooses a scientific advisor from among academic and research staff, with the last semester mainly devoted to MSc thesis preparation. Students can also spend a semester studying in one of the cooperating European universities as part of a student exchange program.
