The Data Science, Statistics and Decision Analysis programme focuses on how to draw smart conclusions from large amounts of data with the purpose of making well-informed decisions.

In today's society, massive amounts of data are generated at high speed. The data is also characterised by high variety and is becoming increasingly complex. We are constantly connected with computers and smart phones, while being surrounded by cameras and sensors that monitor and measure our lives constantly.

Programme overview:

Automation and digitisation are becoming increasingly important in a large number of areas and industries, and most companies and authorities store large amounts of data about their customers, users and processes. For example, the analysis of large amounts of medical data is becoming increasingly important in healthcare.

The programme consists of courses in the following three subfields: data science, statistics and decision analysis. The program is a collaboration with the Department of Statistics.

Important about selection:

The selection is made from the following three criteria:

• Grades of academic courses,
• mandatory motivation letter and
• the relevance of previous studies in relation to the programme.
