The MSc Data Science & Analytics program is offered in two configurations (here referred to as plans):
A) Master of Science in Data Science and Analytics by Research (Plan A)
This program configuration consists of an extended, self-guided computer science research project leading to a thesis. Plan A emphasizes the student’s own independent research study and contribution to the Computer Science body of knowledge over taught instruction. A candidate pursuing a Master of Science in Data Science and Analytics by Research may not receive any structured instruction apart from the crosscutting courses and selected discipline-related courses that are tailor-made to the candidates’ research work. Most of the time is devoted to research resulting in a dissertation.
Publication requirement for plan A students
Through the research modules, Plan A students may be required to make a contribution to the Computer Science body of knowledge. This contribution may be measured by either a journal paper accepted for publication in a reputable journal in a relevant Computer Science discipline or two conference publications in a related Computer Science discipline.
B) Master of Science in Data Science and Analytics (by Coursework or Plan B)
This program configuration will consist of at least 75% taught modules and a short project undertaken as a self-guided project or an internship in the field of Data Science and Analytics with a short project report as a final output. The Master of Science in Data Science and Analytics by Coursework and Project Report configuration shall consist of taught courses and a project report. This Data Science and Analytics program configuration offers advanced taught courses constituting at least 75% of the entire workload. At the end of the taught part, the candidate is required to apply the acquired knowledge and skills in a project/industrial training/field attachment.
