Data science - big data
The field of Data Science revolves around processing, analysing and extracting knowledge from massive amounts of data – often referred to as “big data”. Thanks to the explosion of digital information this area is growing fast, and one of the greatest challenges is developing the interdisciplinary expertise needed to maximise the potential of these datasets.
Large-scale data processing – an interdisciplinary asset
These vast amounts of data have opened up entirely new possibilities across a wide range of fields, from mapping the human genome to conducting business analytics and predicting future climate scenarios. Data Science is also widely used to support decision-making, where patterns identified in existing datasets help forecast future trends and developments.
Whether you are interested in AI, finance, sustainability or tech, the field of Data Science can open doors to exciting career opportunities across industries.
The master’s programme in Applied data science is not accepting applications for autumn 2025.
However, the courses included in the Applied data science programme can still be taken as elective courses within the master’s programmes in Computer Science or Software Engineering and Management, or as independent courses outside of a programme.
