DATA SCIENCE | COMPUTER SCIENCE

Graduates of any of the Data Science foci at JKU are highly qualified to pursue excellent international employment opportunities across various domains, such as medicine, pharmaceutics, smart production, information technology, finance and marketing, both in academia and in industry. Besides their general qualifications as graduates of Computer Science, Statistics, or Business Informatics, they are notably qualified to lead or to be part of Data Science projects in business and industry, contributing from the perspective of their field. They can efficiently communicate and work in interdisciplinary teams by having commonly acquired fundamentals of machine learning, data mining, data warehousing, data visualization, and statistical principles of Data Science. They can specifically contribute by having obtained special high-level skills in their field.

Graduates of the Data Science focus within the Master's Study of Computer Science are particularly proficient in a wide range of data analysis and big data management techniques enabling them to use, to devise, and to implement novel data analysis algorithms.
