Data Science Program

The Master of Data Science (MDSc) is a one-year program jointly offered by the Departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computer Science. The program aims to equip students with the foundations of data science and provide them with practical techniques needed to effectively translate data into knowledge, communicate their findings, and help in the decision-making process.

The MDSc has been designed with an internationally recognizable curriculum that focuses on fundamental aspects of the field. Students completing the program will develop an in-depth understanding of data science methods and techniques in predictive modelling, machine learning, artificial intelligence, data visualization, and mining of big data. They will also build the skills to explore, analyze, and visualize data sets, regardless of their size, using the latest technologies; apply data science and analytical methods to address data-rich problems from a variety of fields; think critically about data and drive decision-making.
