About the Program

In the Data Science program, you will gain solid knowledge in the engineering of self-optimizing systems. The program includes modules on algorithmic fundamentals, software realization and software design with a strong application orientation through project-oriented work. The knowledge imparted comes primarily from computer science and mathematics/statistics. Students choose between an economic and a technical application area. The program qualifies graduates for engineering work in intelligent and information technology applications, enabling them to decide whether machine learning methods should be used for engineering or economic problems. Graduates can model problems, define influencing variables, and develop appropriate data and software structures. The curriculum includes mathematical foundations, informatics basics, and Data Science/Machine Learning modules, with about one-third of courses being project-related. Data Scientists are increasingly sought after in many sectors including industry, banking, insurance, communications, energy, retail, and public administration.
