The MSc combines Mathematics with technology from Data Science (Big Data) and analytics, giving you practical applications in financial, business, and medical systems, as well as the tools for studying the network structure that data can take.
The MSc Mathematics and Data Science is taught by the Division of Computing Science and Mathematics in the Faculty of Natural Sciences.
Students will learn from lectures and practical labs during the Autumn and Spring semesters. During the Autumn and Spring semesters, this course covers:
statistical analysis techniques for small and large datasets
basic and advanced programming using R, Matlab and Python (multiple modules)
building and analysing mathematical models of real-life systems
mathematical analysis of data networks, e.g. social media networks
mathematical optimization and computer-based search algorithms and Artificial Intelligence
data analytics and machine learning
relational and non-relational databases
cluster computing
Important Dates
