Applied Data Science profile
The focus area Applied Data Science is involved in offering the Applied Data Science profile, a 30- or 33-EC specialization in masters offered by Graduate School of Life Sciences (GSLS) and Graduate School of Natural Sciences (GSNS). Note that the profile differs from the 1-year master Applied Data Science.
Applied Data Science is a multidisciplinary profile, offered by the Department of Methodology and Statistics, for students who are not only interested in broadening their knowledge and expertise within the field of data science, but are also eager to apply these capabilities in relevant projects within their research domain. The Applied Data Science profile extends master students’ knowledge to address the challenges for decision making, planning, and knowledge discovery in large collections of diverse data.
There are two two mandatory courses in this profile:
Both courses provide a thorough introduction to data science, its basic methods, techniques, processes, and the application of data science within specific domains. The foundations of applied data science include relevant statistical methods, machine learning techniques and programming skills.
