Based on a pedagogical approach combining multi-disciplinary teaching, projects and feedback, the Master in Data Engineering (MSc) (Μεταπτυχιακό σε Data Engineering (MSc)) at Aivancity School for Technology Business and Society is a response to the opportunities and challenges raised by the massification of data in all sectors of economic activity and all areas of our modern society, leading to a significant shift in businesses and practices.
Faced with exponential growth in data volumes, companies of all sizes and in all sectors have no choice but to reflect on and implement solutions capable of addressing the challenges associated with this mega-data, which is described as “fuel” or “black gold” because its value fuels the digital economy. Moreover, the importance of data is not just for the economic world. Public organizations, scientific research, NGOs, communities and Smart Cities are also concerned.
The Master in Data Engineering (MSc) (Μεταπτυχιακό σε Data Engineering (MSc)) aims not only to master the entire cycle of data engineering (acquisition, architecture, storage, cleansing, sorting, structuring, securing and analysis), using the best technologies, but also to understand the issues at stake in organizations (decision-making support, understanding of business processes, etc.) as well as their legal, ethical and societal implications (respect for personal data, neutrality, bias, equity, diversity, transparency, etc.).
