Master of Science [M.S] [Information Studies - Data Science] From University of Amsterdam

In the one year Data Science Master's track, you will acquire knowledge of the theories and tools used in data science. We will teach you how to use these tools for working with data in different domains, such as Healthcare, Media and Communication, Smart City, Life Sciences and Digital Humanities.

You will benefit from the strong collaboration with Amsterdam Data Science (ADS), bringing together leading researchers across the entire life cycle of data science, from expertise in machine learning and information retrieval to human computer interaction and large-scale data management.

Within the Data Science master's specialisation you focus on the computational and statistical aspects of data science as well as on its applications.

The strength of the programme is the individual possibility for each student  of studying other future-oriented topics in Advanced Computing Systems, Artificial Intelligence and Foundations of Computing.

The specialisation is a unique collaboration between Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science and the Mathematical Institute, in collaboration with the Leiden Centre of Data Science.

You can benefit from a research environment and collaborations with other scientific disciplines, companies and organizations.

Data Science for Decision Making will familiarise you with methods, techniques and algorithms that can be used to address major issues in mathematical modelling and decision making. You will also get hands-on experience in applying this knowledge through computer classes, group research projects and the thesis research. The unique blend of courses will equip you with all the knowledge and skills you’ll need to have a successful career.
