Data Science MSc

Data science is the study of the computational principles, methods, and systems for extracting and structuring knowledge from data; and the application and use of those principles. Large data sets are now generated by almost every activity in science, society, and commerce - ranging from molecular biology to social media, from sustainable energy to health care.<br/><br/>As an MSc Data Science student, you will explore how to efficiently find patterns in these vast streams of data. Many research areas have tackled parts of this problem:<br/><br/><br/>• Machine learning focuses on finding patterns and making predictions from data.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Ideas from algorithms and databases are required to build systems that scale to big data streams.<br/><br/><br/><br/>• Separate research areas have grown around different types of unstructured data such as text, images, sensor data, video, and speech. <br/><br/>
