Data Science

Introduction

As the world have entered the era of e-globalization, the challenges of processing enormous data, known as “big data”, into information has become the current basis of competition and growth for industry and business. Until recently, Data Science has become the secret recipe that could accommodate the growing demand of “big data” processing. Data Science is a blend of various technology tools, statistics, and machine learning with the goal to discover hidden patterns from the raw data. It can enhance productivity and creating significant value for the world economy by increasing the quality of products and services and reducing waste. The students will learn to solve complex data problems with a strong Data Science expertise. They will use the latest technologies in finding solutions and reaching conclusions. The program can be completed within 3.5 – 4 years. Furthermore, to provide one-year work experience for students, there are industrial internships, interesting research, or entrepreneurship programs.
