Description
As the world becomes increasingly digitized, data science has taken on a vital role in shaping our media landscape and social conversations. With new use cases, technological innovations, and controversial debates emerging daily, it can be challenging to keep up.
As a result of this dynamic field, there is a high demand for data scientists. Many organizations are experiencing a growing need for "Citizen Data Scientists" - individuals who can create advanced diagnostic analytics models despite not having expertise in that area. In this context, data science experts are crucial for developing and testing hypotheses, helping companies make sense of the data they collect.
Our online Master's program in Data Science focuses on current software and infrastructure engineering developments, as well as Big Data technology. You'll develop your problem-solving skills and learn a methodical, focused, and logical approach to data science challenges.
