What have you learnt?
Data is the future. And that’s great news for you as a data science and engineering graduate. Data is invaluable in the world’s economy and operations. Google, Yahoo and Microsoft have access to zettabytes or brontobytes of data, and social media platforms connect hundreds of millions of users around the globe. Back in the physical world, you’ll find millions of networked sensors and actuators, in devices such as mobile phones, smart energy meters and distributed cameras. Petabytes of diverse data, ranging from genomic data to health records and medical imaging, are transforming healthcare.
Thanks to this Master in Applied Computer Science you’ll gain a broad education in data science and engineering with a focus on generic smart systems design, and add your chosen minors in digital health, smart cities, environmental informatics, and business intelligence. Armed with this knowledge you’ll be a valuable ICT engineer, capable of designing systems and applying analytics on the heterogeneous data they obtain.
