Sophia University will launch the Graduate Degree Program of Applied Data Sciences (Master’s Program), a graduate school for the practical study of data science, in April 2023. The education of data science has been conducted mainly in the field of science and engineering at universities. However, in our rapidly changing society now needs to prepare itself for Society 5.0, a super-smart society. We not only require human resources with expertise in science and engineering, but also business people who have knowledge on data science and can read and understand data, solve problems, and apply and develop new business.

The Graduate Degree Program of Applied Data Sciences aims to nurture practitioners who possess both academic expertise and the practical skill to apply and deploy it in the modern society with “bridging theory and practice” as a key phrase. The three Graduate Schools of Economics, Science and Technology and Environmental Studies at Sophia University are collaborating to develop human resources who can respond to rapid changes in society and solve problems using their data science knowledge. Under the theme of applied data science, the three Graduate Schools have established an organized and systemized cross-divisional degree program. The program is designed to train professionals who will contribute to solving problems in the coming data-driven society and pioneer a new world.

Curriculum

Academic faculty members in this program will provide guidance mainly from an academic perspective, while practical faculty members will provide guidance with an emphasis on practical skills for students to become active in the modern society after completing the Master’s Program. Students will acquire the necessary knowledge to become practitioners who can lead our data-driven society immediately through practical training courses centered on exercises, elective courses that broadly cover the basic and applications of data science, and collaborative courses that broaden and deepen their academic knowledge in data science and business administration. In addition to the faculty members, we also offer a number of courses taught by lecturers dispatched from companies. In the second year, internships courses are offered in actual work sites to deepen the students’ understanding.
