A Bachelor's degree, equivalent to a Swedish Kandidatexamen, from an internationally recognised university. Also required is: 80 credits in computer science and mathematics; 15 credits in computer science including 10 credits in programming; 30 credits in mathematics including 5 credits in linear algebra, 5 credits in several variable calculus and 5 credits in statistics and probability.
Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6. This requirement can be met either by achieving the required score on an internationally recognised test, or by previous upper secondary or university studies in some countries.
With a Master's degree in Data Science, specialising in Data Engineering, you will learn how to process data on distributed and high-performance computer systems to extract knowledge from large amounts of data. You will possess knowledge with a large area of application, from helping to solve the great societal problems of our time to working at companies of all sizes and areas to identify target groups and optimise their products and revenues. The Master's Programme in Data Science with a specialisation in Data Engineering will provide you with the knowledge, tools and skills to succeed in a wide range of different positions that involve the analysis of large amounts of data. This specialisation provides the general skills needed by a data scientist, as well as advanced skills in data mining, data engineering, accelerator-based programming, and security. The programme also covers the mathematical foundations of data science. During the programme, you can expect to: learn how to extract knowledge from large amounts of data; get an understanding of both the mathematical foundations of data science and its computational aspects; and understand the importance of efficient and effective data processing, while still learning skills on how to model and understand data.
