The need for data scientists has grown exponentially over the past few years. While there are many Big Data or Data Science minors out there, this minor uniquely focuses on the interaction between the field of Data Science and Artificial intelligence and uses a software-oriented approach to solving ‘wicked (data) problems’.

The core of the minor consists of a group project for an external client, which provides you the opportunity to work on real-life realistic problems.

 

The student is able to:

· work on a data science driven research project

· create and train a machine learning model/pattern

· create an application to show the outcomes of the machine learning / deep learning models/patterns

· design and develop a highly scalable parallel distributed processing cluster of nodes

· cooperate with fellow students in software development activities

· effectively communicate with external clients

Audience: Bachelor ICT 3rd year with experience in programming.

February 2025 - June 2025
