Program details
Overview
Delivered part-time in the evenings over six semesters (90 ECTS, MQF Level 7), with a mainly taught structure alongside a research component, the Master of Science in Data Science responds to how central managing and analysing big data has become across finance, retail, marketing, social science, research, medicine, industry, academia and government. The curriculum was shaped with industry input to ensure a solid grounding in core theory, covering discrete and continuous mathematics, probability and statistics, and the theoretical basis of machine learning and data analytics, before building toward more applied work once the taught component is complete.
Graduates move into academia, research, industry, government and private-sector roles, with openings that include machine learning specialist and related data-focused positions across a wide span of sectors.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: UM applies course-specific entry requirements under its regulations and bye-laws. Local applicants are assessed on qualifications such as the Matriculation Certificate, International Baccalaureate, or European Baccalaureate; international applicants hold overseas qualifications evaluated individually for comparability with UM's standards, with no extra requirements beyond the course's own criteria. MATSEC-qualification applicants must apply as soon as they receive their first result slip after the May/June session; students sitting September resits should apply by the course's first deadline rather than waiting on resit results. After evaluation, the Office of the Registrar issues a decision letter. Admission may also be granted via Recognition and Accreditation of Prior Learning (RPL) for undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses.
