Data Science - Master

Data Science students will learn to extract relevant information from a compilation of large datasets from different sources. Data Scientists are the experts needed to understand, apply, and improve data driven methods like machine learning and Artificial intelligence. The ability to create, manage and exploit data has become one of the most important challenges for practitioners in most industries. Students with expertise in Data Science will be highly sought after in the labor market, where they will contribute to the development of smart solutions and digitisation. This study comes in the wake of Big Data and the need to find useful information in them. Analysis, understanding, and use of these data require interdisciplinary skills and knowledge. This master programme creates opportunities for students from different engineering backgrounds who want to focus more on digitisation and data analysis. You can write your master thesis in collaboration with industry, and participate in innovation and research. UiS has a strong research focus on analysis of large datasets, Cloud solutions, and machine learning.
