Computing for Data Science Free University of Bozen-Bolzano

Overview

We live in a digital society. Human and automated activities continuously generate data, storing them in digital format. These data come from everywhere: enterprise information systems, social media, wearable equipment, and many more.

Data are like crude oil: unrefined, they are useless.

In the Master in Computing for Data Science at Free University of Bozen-Bolzano , we teach you how to become a computational data scientist, i.e. a computer scientist specialised in the development of next-generation information systems.

Career opportunities

• Graduates enter the labour market as Machine Learning Engineers and Data Architects, key roles in the development of IT solutions for data science.

• Machine Learning Engineers are sought after in all those business and organisational contexts, by no means limited to IT, where it is crucial to analyse, interpret and extract knowledge from big data and complex, heterogeneous datasets.

• Data Architects hold technical and coordinating roles for data management within companies and organisations operating in the IT sector, or with a complex network of IT systems dependent on heterogeneous data sources.

• Possible fields of employment include the sectors of finance, retail, e-commerce, marketing, Industry 4.0, public administration, but also applied sciences such as physics, biology, medicine, life sciences and environmental sciences.  This also extends to scientific institutes, laboratories and universities.
