CURRICULUM

The three pillars of theory and practice in the school's curriculum

1. Seven theoretical courses

2. Internship and field work at companies

3. Overseas training to acquire an international mindset

First year--Theoretical subjects

Courses that serve as the foundation of data science (Statistics, Mathematics, Introduction to Information Systems, Programming, etc.), are the core of the first-year curriculum. Students acquire the basic knowledge necessary to study practical subjects in the second year and beyond. Courses include: Mathematics I (Basics), Mathematics II (Linear Algebra), Statistics, Data Science Basics, Programming, Information Security and Introduction to Data Processing

Second year--Practical subjects

The second year curriculum builds on the foundational knowledge and skills acquired in the first year, expanding students’ knowledge into applied fields of data science, and specialized topics that will enable them to succeed as data scientists.

Internship and fieldwork at companies
International training to acquire an international mindset
