Beschreibung

Beschreibung des Angebots

Data Science is a modern and interdisciplinary field of research. It is located at the interface between Mathematics and Statistics, Computer Science and Programming. 

 

Data Science is extensively applied in various occupational fields ranging from a classical academic career across industry to politics and health care. Nowadays, more and more huge volumes of data sets (“Big Data”) are generated. Therefore, Data Science applies a large variety of different methods like Statistics, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Mining, Deep Learning, algorithms and systems as well as scientific methods to extract knowledge, get insights, analyze and interpret these data. To address these questions, the field encompasses different applications starting with preparing the data sets for analysis, analyzing the data, develop data-driven solutions, and present findings to inform high level decisions in a broad range of application fields. Thus, Data Science is often called to be the fourth pillar in the spectrum of scientific methods, besides theory, research, and computational sciences. All these together makes Data Science a very diversified and fascinating field of research with versatile challenges. Furthermore, you can be creative and place your own ideas to solve problems and generate solutions.

Focal area of teaching and research

The Master’s program Data Science at the University of Basel offers a solid fundamental theoretical knowledge in mathematics and statistics combined with practical applications in managing and processing huge volumes of data sets. Students enrolling to the Master’s program will enjoy a modern curriculum combining the whole data science methods like mathematical foundations, machine learning as well as managing and processing big data with excellent teaching and close links to current research. Due to the synergy with the Center for Data Analytics the students can write their Master’s thesis based on real, cutting-edge data. Graduates of the Master’s degree program are offered a wide range of job opportunities where they can apply their broad-ranging knowledge, e.g. in the IT, pharmaceutical, chemical, and financial industry, banking and insurance companies, museums and lots of other occupational fields. The studies also convey the fundamentals for an entry into research and academia.

Course structure Master studies

The Master of Science degree is a postgraduate degree that requires a successfully completed Bachelor’s program. The program awards 120 ECTS credits in total. The Specialized Master’s degree program Data Science is a so called «mono-course» consisting of only one core subject.

 

Aufbau der Ausbildung

One ECTS credit point roughly equals 30 hours of study. 

Curriculum Master’s degree Data Science ECTS
Mathematical Foundations at least 18
Machine Learning Foundations at least 18
Systems Foundations at least 18
Electives in Data Science 20
Preparation of the Master’s thesis 6
Master’s thesis 30
Total 120

Fächerkombination

The degree programs at the Faculty of Science are generally mono-courses with the possible addition of an in-depth subject and an elective subject.

Perspektiven

Doctorate / PhD

The Master of Science in Data Science qualifies for a PhD in Computer Science or Mathematics in particular in the context of the PhD Program Data Science at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science. Transfaculty doctorates are possible in any of the computation- or data-oriented programs at the University of Basel, for example in genomics, chemistry, or neuroscience. The doctoral studies last three to four years. After the acceptance of the dissertation an oral examination covering the postgraduate studies in the doctoral subject has to be passed.
