Data Science is an increasingly trending field that provides new opportunities for businesses by creating value out of data. New waves of innovations surrounding analytic services have had a significant impact on business and technology over recent years. In this master’s program, you will learn all relevant data science skills that are in demand across all industries in today’s job market.

DMU’s Business Intelligence and Analytics course covers data warehouse design, big data applications, and business intelligence. You'll develop skills to analyze large datasets, predict business performance, and solve real-world challenges, preparing you for in-demand roles in data science and analytics.

Our Data Analytics programme is designed to equip you with the advanced analytical skills and critical thinking needed to thrive in today’s data-driven world. This program combines cutting-edge techniques in data management, statistical analysis, and machine learning.

You will learn how to model, store and process these data sets using the latest algorithms and techniques and about modern methods and tools for visually exploring them. The core courses of the programme provide the key skillset of a data scientist: applying machine learning, managing large data sets, and generating interesting visualisations. The skills acquired will be applicable to business applications, industrial applications and also to scientific data exploration.

Data analysts are forging new relationships in virtually every discipline: business, healthcare, geology, mathematics and statistics, biology, chemistry, computer science, information systems and technology, engineering, psychology, behavioral science, operations research, and more, in addition to potential interactions between these disciplines, using role-based interaction with information and analytics to enable highly- collaborative, data-driven organizations. The graduate of this program enters the workforce prepared for the complex, information-intensive world.

The role of a data scientist is rapidly becoming a required position for any company that wishes to take full advantage of the data they collect. There is an increased demand for professionals who have the correct mix of mathematics, statistics, computer science, business acumen, and the ability to leverage emerging technologies to solve real-life problems.

The degree of Master of Science in Computational Data Science (M.Sc. in CODS), which combines computer science and mathematics, is awarded for successfully completing the requirements of a program of study, which includes taught courses, a project and a thesis. The thesis is an independent investigation of specialized areas within the general field of computational data science and associated disciplines. The M.Sc. in CODS gives candidates the opportunity to deepen their knowledge in the broad field of computational data science and contribute to the process of discovery and knowledge creation through the conduct of original research. Candidates for this degree are taught and supervised by experienced faculty and are expected to demonstrate initiative in their approach and innovation in their work. In addition to successfully completing the taught course and project components of the program, candidates prepare and present a thesis on their chosen research area. Research may be undertaken in several topics corresponding to the areas of focus identified by the University.
