Overview

Institutions across the whole spectrum of human activity, from banking to healthcare, and from government transportation and insurances, are nowadays racing to become data-driven. They have realized that in order to survive and excel in the 21st century, they need to tap on the value of data. This allows them to better understand the world and take informative decisions that drive their ventures into offering better services.  Data Science is the science of converting data into knowledge by data-driven decision making.

Data Science is the science of converting data into knowledge. It deals with all those challenges related to the management and processing of the data. It is called to find answers to critical questions like how can we efficiently store and access the massive volumes of data we collect?

Career

Over 10 years ago, Data Scientists did not exist. In 10 or 20 years, all institutions and companies will have some form of data-driven decision making. The Data Science concepts that we are taught are generally applicable on many domains and real life scenarios. Students that master these concepts will be able to build the Data Science tools of the future, and will become able to understand, adopt, apply and advance easily the new technologies that may appear in the upcoming years. Data Science is offered at Utrecht University .
