The aim of this program is to provide the students with advanced technical skills and a scientific understanding of Data Science. Moreover, the MSc will aid students in developing research competency so they can design their own scientific methods pushing the frontiers of this new emerging field. Finally, special emphasis is given to the development of skills that are required by the relevant cutting-edge industries.

The program aims at providing students with:

1. Providing students with the technical and analytical skills required for acquiring,managing, analyzing and extracting knowledge from heterogeneous data sources.
2. Equipping students with critical skills to help them in making decisions on the appropriate data analysis pipeline by designing, implementing and evaluating a data science solution.
3. Providing students with software engineering and machine learning skills to design and implement scalable, reliable and maintainable solutions for data-oriented problems.
4. Enabling students to develop data programming skills for multiple business domains and possible challenges.
5. In collaboration with experts from the industry, the student will be aware of the challenges that a professional comes across when moving from theory to practice in real world.
6. Giving the opportunity to the student to work in real world problems with real data in collaboration with industrial partners.
7. Preparing students to pursue a PhD in data science or to any other field where data science skills are required.

• The total cost of the master’s programme is €12,060.
