This certificate programme provides all HSG students at the Bachelor’s level with the possibility of acquiring skills in data science, so that they can play a successful and responsible role in today’s data-driven world!
Data is the abounding resource in today’s world; but surprisingly few are equipped with the necessary skills to create value out of this resource, and to deal with it responsibly.
In the DSF programme, you are going to be prepared to take a proactive role as mediator between the world of management and that of technically oriented data scientists. You will learn to judge data-driven projects from a variety of different angles, including technical, managerial, and societal. In such a role, you will have a critical impact in allowing all parties concerned with data-driven projects to better connect and realize their collaborative potential.
The programme is specially designed for Bachelor students. The programme language is English.
The programme starts each fall term. Application submission: 1 February to 30 June each year.
