Program Goals
Program Goals
The program focuses on computational and quantitative techniques. It aims at offering students new opportunities for building a sustainable competitive advantage through data analysis.

Students are expected to acquire knowledge and skills on:
  • storing, analysing and presenting data, by using current algorithmic and computational techniques
  • using probability theory, statistics and algebra to understand simple and advanced mathematical concepts and tools, applied to data
  • combining specific algorithmic, algebraic and statistical problem-solving techniques, developed over the last 10 years in the field of Data Science, for big data handling and prediction and decision-making modelling
  • summarising and presenting complex data and models efficiently and skilfully
  • detecting situation similarities that can be used to tackle problems solvable by computational techniques

The program is internationally-oriented to meet the current demand for Data Science specialists. Our long-term goal is to establish this program among the leading ones in the field.

MSc in Data Science is ranked 12th globally in the Eduniversal rankings. https://www.kathimerini.gr/society/562985167/
