Program Outline
Careers:
With this specialization, you will easily find work as a data scientist. As such, you will help companies to collect and organize data and apply certain algorithms (such as machine learning algorithms). The results of your work will facilitate making evidence-based decisions, making predictions, and gaining insights. As a mathematically educated data scientist, you will also be welcomed by the healthcare sector, high-tech companies such as Thales or ASML, and of course, the ICT industry. Your background in mathematics will allow you to go the extra mile since algorithms are at the very core of data science. Your career opportunities lie with companies such as Booking.com (once a start-up at the University of Twente campus! ), Google, or Coolblue. These companies use data to predict how popular a product, travel destination, or search result is.
