Course description

Today, breakthroughs in science, business, administration, and technology stem from vast and intricate data sets. The job market craves professionals who can skillfully manage this data and possess a solid academic background in the field. Handling patient or customer data, stock prices, returns, and weather or climate information is lucrative and increasingly sought after. The two-year Master's degree in Data Science builds on the Bachelor's program of the same name. You can start this course in either the winter or summer semesters. This program is a collaborative effort among the Faculties of Statistics, Computer Science, and Mathematics, led by the Faculty of Statistics.
