9 Data Science MSc Degree Programs

Data science comprises the concepts, techniques, tools, and body of knowledge supporting Big Data, the acquisition, management, analysis, and display of large, rapidly changing, and varied sets of information. It supports the extraction of actionable knowledge directly from data through a process of discovery, hypothesis formulation, and hypothesis testing. Data science encompasses activities ranging from collecting the raw data, processing and extracting knowledge from the data, to decision-making based on the data, and implementing a solution.

Data is the resource of the 21st century, and the quest for harnessing its economic and social potential calls for an increasing number of specialists and managers who not only have solid technical, analytical, and AI know-how but are also able to apply them as creative entrepreneurs.
