Overview and admission

Study Type

graduate

Admission semester

Summer and Winter Semester

Area of study

Information Technology

Target group

The offer of a consecutive Master degree program in Data Science is intentionally aimed at graduates of a broad spectrum of Bachelor programs, since Data Science competences are of great importance for very different industries. Some basic knowledge of Mathematics / Statistics and Computer Science are required.

Annotation

The students deepen their technical, methodological and social skills, especially in the areas of data storage, consolidation, processing, analysis and forecasting, with a focus on Big Data and machine learning processes. Data protection and security are also part of the training. Thus, after completing your studies, you are ideally prepared to work in the various organisational units of companies by purposefully analysing the mass of data available today and building on this, making forecasts that enable new business models and evaluate existing business models.

Also possible as a degree course with practical training (PBS). For more information see https://www.fh-kiel.de/studium/studienangebot/duales-studium/praxisbegleitetes-studium/
