Data Science and Machine Learning M.Sc.

The new Data Science and Machine Learning programme concentrates on data science research activities with a focus on life and natural sciences, including medicine.
Students in the programme acquire professional and interdisciplinary skills to meet the challenges of digital transformation in society and at the university. They master the methodological foundations of complex data analysis with a strong focus on machine learning methods and develop a comprehensive understanding of developing, implementing, and analysing data-driven algorithms on both technical and conceptual levels. The programme enables students to gain specific expertise in applying analytical methods across three specialization areas and effectively communicate insights to domain experts. We offer the following three specializations:
- Theoretical Foundations of Machine Learning in Mathematics and Natural Sciences’
- ‘Data Science and Machine Learning in Medicine and Health Care’
- ‘Data-Driven Speech and Hearing Sciences’
Students will experience a high proportion of guided but independent research directly in the laboratories of the university.
