MA/MS in Data Analytics

The Master's programme in Data Analytics is designed for Bachelor graduates whose subject knowledge lies outside computer science. It extends that domain expertise with mathematics and computing, preparing students for research-oriented work in data analytics and the analysis of large datasets. In the first year, students learn Python and R, the basics of information technology and databases, and the foundations of artificial intelligence and text mining. A data science lecture series introduces working groups from across the university, which helps students make contacts for future projects and for their master's thesis. Two modules on information and data management address long-term archiving, ethics, legal questions and version control. The programme is hybrid, so students can study on campus, fully online, or in a mix of both formats. It starts in the winter semester and has no numerus clausus, and it closes with a specialisation module and a thesis module.
