BA/BS in Data Science

Data Science is a study direction within the Bachelor's programme in Applied Computer Science at Wilhelm Büchner Hochschule, delivered as distance learning. Students learn to analyse and visualise data in a systematic way and to use it as a basis for well-founded decisions. The course builds competence in data analysis and data visualisation, which can be applied to complex questions in different fields of application. The programme integrates economic content, so graduates understand business contexts and decision processes. The practical study content prepares students for demanding data science roles in a data-driven working environment. The flexible format allows learners to combine study with work and private life, studying independently of place and time while setting their own pace. Students gain skills that prepare them for analytical work in a range of organisations.
