BA/BS in Data Science

The Data Science bachelor teaches how to turn large amounts of data into usable findings. Students combine programming and mathematical thinking with methods of artificial intelligence to analyse data systematically. From the start they work on concrete questions and develop practical digital solutions. The programme addresses data science as the analysis of large datasets, for example with machine learning, to extract useful information. Admission is open admission (zulassungsfrei, no NC). The standard period of study is 6 semesters and the workload is 180 credit points. Teaching is in German. The degree is organised into modules, with examinations accompanying the courses, and applicants should consult the programme page for current subject-specific entry conditions and the application periods announced before each intake. International applicants can find further guidance from the university's Academic Office for International Affairs, and the faculty offers orientation events and mentoring for new students.
