7 Data Science Degree Programs in Finland

Are you looking to tackle real-world data problems and design practical solutions? Would you like to learn a broad set of techniques for dealing with data of various types? Then now is the time to take a leap forward in your career and apply to the master’s degree programme Machine Intelligence and Data Science (MIND)!

The Master's Program in Data-Centric Engineering is based on blending applied mathematics with computer science and engineering. During your studies, you will learn about artificial intelligence and machine learning and how mathematics and statistics form their basis. This will enable you to understand data and modern modeling and analysis methods, such as deep neural networks, profoundly and apply them to problems with societal impact.

Big data and data-driven methods are at the center of modern computer science, statistics, and computer engineering and hold great promise for the future. Experts in analyzing data are needed for solving challenging data-driven problems such as understanding text documents, conversation, and social media; creating intelligent search engines; finding data-driven insights into phenomena of society, economy, and culture; creating data-driven solutions for medical and biological problems, and enabling self-driving cars and autonomous robots.

Despite the immense potential of Big Data, many companies are blind to the value of the data they create. It is time for that to change - and our Data Science programme equips you with the skills to drive this change. You will be able to provide important insights into business processes and discover opportunities to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Analyze and make decisions that will lead companies to its maximum growth.

Language use and linguistic data are essential in various disciplines today and in all areas of our digitalized society. It is widely recognized that society needs people who understand language as data, who can work analytically and can analyze linguistic data systematically. The Master's Degree Programme in Linguistic Data Sciences focuses on the interfaces between languages and digitalization in today's world.

Graduates of EBDS will be able to design epidemiological studies; build statistical models; produce new knowledge transferable to public health intervention, health policy, and precision medicine.
