BA/BS in Data Science and Big Data Technology

Data Science and Big Data Technology is a new engineering programme set up under national big data development policy. It is offered by the School of Information Engineering and draws on computing, together with mathematics and statistics, to build a cross-disciplinary and practice-based model of study. The curriculum combines a general and specialised course system with full-process practical training. Students learn data acquisition and storage, processing and computation, and analysis and mining with intelligent algorithms, with emphasis on engineering ability for domain-specific big data analysis. Graduates can work in new-generation information technology, artificial intelligence, digital economy and smart city industries, applying big data analysis to industry problems. Students develop engineering practice through industry cooperation and structured practical training. The aim is graduates who can apply data methods to real problems.
