Overview
The Data Engineering program from Uppsala University provides the general skills needed by a data scientist, as well as advanced skills in data mining and data engineering.
For instance, you will learn how to process data on distributed and high-performance computer systems. In addition to learning how to extract knowledge from large amounts of information, you will also gain a robust understanding of both the mathematical foundations of data science and its computational aspects.
As part of the programme, you will also be given an opportunity to delve into the ethical and legal aspects of data science. This is important not least due to the fact that many large-scale societal issues, be they social welfare, climate change, healthcare or democracy, necessitate the use of data-driven methods and AI.
Career:
Data science as a profession has long enjoyed strong growth, but due to the ever-increasing level of automation and digitalisation, several independent analysts are predicting even greater demand in the field
If you so desire, you may also choose to remain in academia and pursue a PhD in data science. As mentioned, the faculty hosts several research groups, and doctoral positions are sometimes offered.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The programme consists of four main parts. At first, you and your fellow students may have different backgrounds, and therefore you can choose courses to complete your basic knowledge in computer science and mathematics.
- You can also choose to take core data science courses, for example on data ethics and law, statistical machine learning, the theoretical foundations of data science and data engineering.
- From the end of the first year, you choose courses within the specialisation data engineering, covering topics such as data mining, distributed computing and security.
- The programme also includes practical activities: a project course done at a research lab or in collaboration with students from other programmes, and a master's thesis at a company or research lab.
