Overview

The MSc in Data Science program will stimulate research activities in the area of computer science, statistics, and their applications. This will enrich both undergraduate and graduate programs in both Colleges (College of Computing and Informatics and College of Science). Faculty of both departments (Computer Science and Mathematics) will be able to contribute and continue performing their teaching, and research in the undergraduate and graduate programs in both departments. In addition, interdisciplinary research projects could be achieved with the other departments in the UoS. The program will accept students from any related undergraduate program of computing or mathematics. For those students who lack some foundational knowledge, the program offers remedial courses to bridge the lack of background knowledge before embarking on the required courses
