• Data Science is a vibrant, interdisciplinary, and rapidly growing field. More and more firms and institutions are hiring data scientists, and data scientist has been America's top job for the third year according to Glassdoor.
  • Data scientists must be able to acquire, understand, and analyze complex and unstructured data, interpret the meaning of the results, and to communicate the results to relevant stakeholders. Hence, Data Science requires a unique combination of (1) econometrics and statistics, (2) programming skills, and (3) domain knowledge.
  • This four-semester M.Sc. program reflects these requirements to provide its graduates with a unique skill set. Students who enroll in this program specialize in econometrics and select further modules from a broad set of options on different aspects of business and economics.
  • On top of that, students complete modules on data science techniques, which include programming in R and Python as well as the possibility to enroll in courses in Machine Learning in collaboration with the computer science department.
