A Data Scientist is a highly skilled professional, who is able to combine state of the art computer science techniques for processing massive amounts of data with modern methods of statistical analysis to extract understanding from massive amounts of data and create new services that are based on mining the knowledge behind the data. The job market is currently in shortage of trained professionals with that set of skills, and the demand is expected to increase significantly over the following years.

If you are looking to pursue a career as a data scientist, this programme is designed for you. You will cover the fundamental statistical (e.g. machine learning) and technological tools (e.g. cloud platforms, Hadoop) for large-scale data analysis.
