“Data Science” introduces modern computational methods to process and visualize data and to communicate results of data analyses. This comprehensive program combines the latest research results with findings and challenges from practice. Participants will learn about fundamental statistical principles, broadly useful statistical methods, state-of-the-art prediction methods from machine learning, and optimization and randomization tools that help them to tackle large-scale data-analytic problems.
Our experienced lecturers demonstrate the relevance of the developed skills in selected application examples. The hybrid format combines networking opportunities on-campus with digital elements.
Why this program?
In 2018, the volume of digital data generated worldwide was 33 zettabyte. This number is expected to increase to 175* by 2025. More than ever, the essential challenge for companies and organizations is to gain knowledge out of this huge amount of data and to be able to make strategic decisions on its basis. Well-trained data scientists play a central role in this process.
Our unique certificate program was developed in close cooperation with professors from TUM’s Department of Mathematics – one of Europe’s leading institutes at the interface of mathematics and its applications – as well as with core members of the MDSI. Our experts support participants in building core business relevant competencies in Data Science – from developing profound methodological competencies to providing a deep understanding of statistical principles.

*Based on our experience, the German tax benefits help many of our participants to self-finance their education as these can be worth of up to 50% of tuition fees and program related travel costs. Please, consult your personal tax advisor for more details. For participants of our programs residing outside Germany this might be applicable, please check the situation with the local tax authorities in your country of residence.
