MA/MS in Mathematical Data Science

Mathematical Data Science focuses on the mathematical principles, algorithms and models that make modern data analysis possible. Students develop a deep understanding of the methods behind artificial intelligence, machine learning and statistical modelling. The programme addresses questions such as which statistical models detect topics in news articles automatically, how streaming services recommend films to customers, how numerical methods train neural networks, and how error rates of machine-learning algorithms can be controlled. Data science is used in medical research, industry, space travel and marketing. Study is taught in English at Ulm University, with close contact to teaching staff and a wide choice of specialisations. A web seminar for prospective students is available. There is no admission restriction, and the programme begins each winter semester.
