The  master’s degree in Data Science  aims to create a benchmark for excellence in the field of data science. This eminently interdisciplinary degree is based on two distinct pillars that are equally essential to data science: data management and data analytics. The degree thus provides a holistic view of the field that also covers cross-disciplinary topics such as ethics and entrepreneurship. The degree aims to produce highly qualified professionals who have a strong ability to innovate in data management and data analytics. Graduates with these skills are in high demand in both the academic sector and industry. The master’s degree also seeks to generate synergies and to foster the exchange of information and experiences in order to nurture the education, research and innovation triangle, which is vitally important in data science.
