Program Description

The Master in Data Science (MSc) at XU Exponential University of Applied Sciences is a degree program for all forward thinkers who plan today the digital precision landings of the day after tomorrow. During the course, students will gain the necessary know-how in a variety of hands-on modules centered around Data Science Fundamentals, Data Science Methods, and Computer Science.

Students will develop skills in predictive and prescriptive analytics. They will learn how to apply these methods and derive correct and relevant future forecasts from the results of their data analysis through practical project work.

In the study area of computer science, students will learn how new technologies and methods from the fields of parallel computing, cognitive computing and disruptive computing are used for data science projects and how to apply them.

During the Master in Data Science (MSc) program, students will expand their existing knowledge of digital leadership in a two-part leadership assessment (in the first and fourth semesters).

There are four specializations: Information Analysis, Business Analysis, and Human Interaction/Natural Language Processing (NLP).
