Overview

Data science, the analysis of large amounts of data, e.g. using artificial intelligence and machine learning methods to extract usable information, has become an integral part of today's society. This also requires constant further development of existing methods and research into new concepts in order to meet the constantly growing demand and increasing complexity of the areas of application. This is where the Master's degree programme in Data Science at JLU comes in.

Bachelor's graduates from the Data Science degree programme, as well as related degree programmes such as Applied Computer Science or from computer science degree programmes at other universities, are taught in-depth knowledge of mathematics and programming as well as advanced methods of data analysis in the first year of studies in order to prepare them for the requirements of the more research- and project-oriented second year. The focus here is on project work on the topics of data science and artificial intelligence, as well as a specialisation module, which can also be completed as part of a professional internship. The final module is the Master's thesis, which may build on the previously completed professional internship or specialisation module in terms of topic and content.

The exact module composition and course of study is individually developed with the respective applicants, taking into account the qualifications already acquired in the Bachelor's degree programme, whereby a comprehensive catalogue of compulsory electives offers extensive opportunities for individual profile development. This ensures that all graduates of the Master's degree programme in Data Science are equally qualified for future scientific research activities and relevant management positions in industry and business.
