Data Science

专业详情

A revolution focused on Big Data. Mobile devices, sensors, web logs, instruments and transactions produce massive amounts of data by the second. As powerful new technologies emerge, Data science allows to gain insight by analyzing this large and often heterogeneous data.

EPFL’s Master’s program in Data Science offers a comprehensive education, from the foundations to implementation, from algorithms to database architecture, and from information theory to machine learning. The Master’s program is offered by the School of computer and communication sciences in collaboration with the School of basic sciences (mathematics) and the School of engineering (electrical engineering).

Program’s objectives

Data science extracts knowledge by analysis of large, noisy, complex, and often heterogeneous data. It is not only a new research paradigm but also at the root of innovative applications in all sectors of the economy. The goal of this Master’s program is to place students at the forefront of this exciting development.
