During the first semester, you will become an expert in extracting knowledge from data. You will acquire a foundation in mathematics, skills in the use of data analysis tools, and an understanding of data economics.

The second semester includes modules in storage and mining of massive datasets, probabilistic modelling, and analysing networks as well as forecasting and simulation.

In the third semester, you will undertake a challenging research project, working in a team to address questions of practical relevance with scientific rigour – often in cooperation with leading companies – focusing on data-intensive problems from different industries. In addition, you will deepen your knowledge of data privacy and ethics.

Two additional electives provide the possibility for further specialisation of professional or personal interests. You can choose from a wide range of subjects. Alternatively, you can choose a maximum of two optional modules from other Management & Entrepreneurship majors. If you are planning to study abroad, you are advised to schedule this for your third semester.

In the field of Management Studies, you will deepen your specialist skills by completing a total of three modules. The interdisciplinary complementary studies component to the programme also comprises three modules that will provide you with a general foundation in academics and research. The special focus of the complementary studies will allow you to familiarise yourself with methods reaching beyond disciplinary boundaries and to develop new strategies for solving problems arising in science and in practice.

In the final semester, you will write your Master's dissertation and attend the accompanying Master's Forum.
