Professional Fields of Activity
The English-language international Master's programme in Mathematical Data Science trains graduates for independent work in the field of data science in industry and business, as well as at universities and research institutions. The programme fosters the development of a professional self-image that is aligned with the standards of professional conduct as a data scientist, both within and outside of academia. Graduates acquire detailed and specialized knowledge and skills that enable them to independently apply methods and ways of thinking to the use of mathematical models and procedures in the analysis and processing of mathematical problems in data science. They are also empowered to act independently and to pursue lifelong professional development in line with the evolving demands of their careers. Furthermore, they acquire the ability to critically examine the prerequisites, limitations, and impacts of applying data science models and methods to socially relevant problems. In addition, graduates can engage in objective discussions with representatives in application areas regarding data science models and methods, theoretically sound problem solutions and their alternatives. They can also transfer their knowledge and acquired skills regarding methods and ways of thinking for the application of data science models and methods to new fields of application.
