About

The Master's programme in Data Science at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) gives you the skills to unlock the power of data to understand the world, uncover patterns, and drive decisions.

Overview

When data speaks, you know how to listen—if you’re driven to uncover the patterns and stories that lead to real-world impact, then this is the right master’s program for you!

Whether you’re drawn to the logic behind data-driven models or excited by the challenge of making sense of complex information, the Master's programme in Data Science at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) will teach its students to collect, process, analyze, and visualize data—mastering everything from anomaly detection and complex system modeling to trend forecasting and machine learning. Turn complexity into clarity with every step. This master’s program combines technical depth with the power to turn data into action, and provides you with the knowledge and skills to launch a successful career in both academia and the private sector.

Why Data Science at Vienna University of Technology?

Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) offers advanced specialization and in-depth learning, preparing you for leadership roles in industry or further academic pursuits through one of our doctoral programs.

Specialize Your Expertise. The purpose of a master’s program is to provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary for a professional career or doctoral studies. Our innovative programs allow you to specialize your degree to fit your academic and professional goals. You acquire state-of-the-art expertise through in-depth studies and research activities. As a graduate student, you benefit from the faculty’s excellent research and our extensive facilities, which contain advanced lecture theaters, labs, and loads of technology.

Careers in Leading Positions. As industries become more dependent on technology, the demand for eligible computer scientists continues to grow.
