Introduction
A course of study for the analysts of the digital future
Our Master in Data Science (in planning) is a degree program for all forward thinkers planning the digital precision landings of the day after tomorrow. Do you want to know how large data science projects are set up and managed? Which cross-sectional areas and competencies need to be taken into account? And how can these be linked to create viable innovation potentials for industry, technology, research, and development?
Do you wonder how you can eliminate the risk factor in future predictions for large-scale innovation and production processes? Curious about which methods and techniques to use?
Do you want to know which figures, data, facts, interfaces, and functions you need to access so that your calculations turn into hits? And how do you transform them into a strategic roadmap for tomorrow’s success?
Are you asking yourself how to build a data science team? Which competencies and profiles are needed to form a successful team? And how does leadership even work today?
Our master’s program in Data Science will not only give you answers to your questions but will also give you the knowledge and skills you need so that the future can emerge from your forecasts.

Admissions
Curriculum
Overview Study Plan
Achieve a master’s level in extracting knowledge from data and build the core competencies required to become a Data Scientist leader who can define tomorrow’s new directions and innovations today.
During your master’s program, you will acquire the necessary expertise in a variety of applied modules that focus on Data Science Fundamentals, Data Science Methods, and Computer Science.
The Data Fundamental modules will connect all relevant aspects of data science. This includes Operations, Applications, and Innovations. You will deepen your practical skills in data science and process management projects as well as in the necessary programming languages and applications. One such example comes from the field of predictive analysis in which you will learn to address customers more specifically based on their potential behavior.
Within the Data Science Methods module, you will broaden your competencies in predictive and prescriptive analysis. Practical project work will enable you to determine how these methods are applied and how you can derive reliable and relevant forecasts from your data analysis.
The Computer Science module gives you detailed insights into how new technologies and methods of Parallel Computing, Cognitive Computing, and Disruptive Computing are applied to data science projects and used in practice.
During your master’s program, you will expand your existing knowledge of Digital Leadership with a two-phase Leadership Assessment (in the first and fourth semesters).
In addition, you will establish consulting competencies as part of a practice project and deepen your qualitative and quantitative research methods during a practice-oriented research project.
Your Master’s degree in Data Science. Your future. Your decision.
This also applies to your elective subjects. You decide which specialization suits you best. When making your choice, be sure to consider the experience you have gained from jobs, internships and projects and the demands that the job market places on you.
Options include
- Information Analysis
- Business Analysis
- Human-Computer Interaction/Natural Language Processing (NLP)

Career Opportunities
Our Master’s program in Data Science (in planning) offers you extensive job prospects because the demand for well-trained experts who can develop analyses for central questions of the future is high. And this trend continues to rise. This applies to businesses, industry, commerce, research, and development as well as consulting.
Forward-thinkers like you can be found wherever large data is generated and used for forecasting or decision-making.
How about a career in consulting to accompany very different industries in the future? Would you rather embark on a path toward the interface of Human-Computer Interaction where you bring the communication between man and machine to the next level? Would you prefer to jump-start in trend management where you not only get to know the next generations of innovation first but also get them rolling? Perhaps you want to take off as a Business Development Manager? What about Innovation Management? And what about a career in research and development?
Regardless of what you decide to do, your master’s degree in Data Science opens doors wide open for you across all industries and sectors.
