The Master of Science in Applied Data Science provides for the development of key competencies in an expanding and increasingly demanding subject area of study. The programme seeks to develop a cadre of graduates with the key skills necessary to extract, apply and develop algorithms to make sense of data and scaling those methods in different platforms. The programme is meant to provide experiential and much practical engagement once the theoretic concepts have been introduced. It is expected that the graduate will both understand the reasons why these techniques work, and possess the ability to modify, extend and apply them in various specialty areas using the available tools and algorithms. Therefore, the programme provides tangible, immediately applicable skills coupled with foundations that allow the expansion of these for the ever-increasing application areas for data science.
