Introduction

Our master's program will provide you with the key competencies that you will need to develop next-generation information systems used to describe and manage data, discover new facts and relations in the data, make predictions, and give advice to decision-makers.

We live in a digital society. Human and automated activities continuously generate data, storing them in digital format. These data come from everywhere: enterprise information systems, social media, wearable equipment, and many more.

Data are like crude oil: unrefined, they are useless.

In our program, we teach you how to become a computational data scientist, i.e. a computer scientist specialized in the development of next-generation information systems.

Data science sits at the interface between computer science, mathematics, and application domains. Our study program covers all these areas: computer science and IT methods for managing and engineering big and complex data, mathematical tools for data interpretation and analysis, artificial intelligence techniques to extract insights from data and support decision-makers and aspects of human-computer interaction. You will participate in cutting-edge research, and apply your skills to real data from actual application domains, such as business information systems, travel and tourism, bioinformatics, healthcare, the Internet of things, industry 4.0, agriculture, and many more.

For your final thesis, you will collaborate on research projects with major industries - such as IBM, Oracle, and Siemens, and with leading research institutions, such as TU Wien, TU München, and Politecnico di Milano.
