About programme

Apply state-of-the-art data science techniques incorporated with a design science perspective to solve contemporary industrial, social, and economic problems

 

As the world grapples with unprecedented volumes of data, there is an increasing urgent demand for data experts who can derive meaningful insights. The area of data science deals with the discovery of patterns in data that can help make decisions; hence it is often called the science of data-driven decision-making. Grounded in the core of applied mathematics, modeling, and computation, it has widespread applications in various fields such as business, finance, telecommunication, transportation, and more.

 

Modern enterprises, governments, and even individuals are using more advanced data science methods to make more informed decisions, such as purchases of products or services, reaching out to new markets, and enhancing the effectiveness of their internal operations and workflows. The Master of Science in Technology and Design (Data Science) programme equips students with the skills and knowledge to apply state-of-the-art data science techniques amalgamated with a design science perspective to solve contemporary industrial, social, and economic problems.

Programme Structure

In this programme, you will delve deep into areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, statistical learning, optimisation, and simulation methodologies. It allows you to gain a comprehensive understanding of data-driven decision-making. You will also learn the skills of complex data management, communication using data and the intricacies of data governance and ethics. The incorporation of design core modules will empower you with the necessary design know-how for developing cutting-edge technological solutions. In the final design project, you will apply your coursework knowledge to specific application domains such as aviation, finance, logistics, telecommunication, transportation, and more.

 

This one-year full-time programme is suitable for individuals who wish to upgrade their skillset to the state-of-the-art design and data science technology to fast-track their professional careers or entrepreneurial pursuits as technically grounded leaders and innovators.
