The Applied Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Master's programme offers a perfect mixture of the courses critical for qualifying as a business application data scientist. The programme not only focuses on technical and statistical courses that concentrate on big data architectures, data and text mining algorithms, neural networks and predictive analytics, but also on familiarising students with creative questioning techniques, visualisation, data storytelling, ethics, and international law. In order to give students the opportunity to acquire practical experience on the topics studied in the courses, the theoretical knowledge gained from the different courses is applied and enhanced in a series of three case studies that are spread across three semesters with increasing level of complexity. In the fourth semester, each student will work on the Master's thesis, ideally on a topic pertaining to the industry.
Structurally, the study programme adopts the theme-centred five-week blocks that are common at SRH University. It comprises a mix of case studies that become larger and more complex with each semester, and it is accompanied by classroom modules, the content of which is directly linked to the case studies. In the first semester, students are taught all the required basic knowledge and methods. The second and third semesters are self-contained units.
Every semester, a case study accompanies the technical courses to put the acquired theoretical knowledge in practical context. Repeatedly conducting complex case studies, including the Master's project, helps the students to understand the interaction between different phases in big data projects and to acquire the required competencies.
In the third semester, students can complete a mandatory internship at a company or research institution, or they can work on case studies with different companies.
The mandatory internship can be continued during the Master's thesis in the fourth semester.
