A wide range of products and services that shape everyday life are based on data. The Data Science profile in the Master of Science in Engineering degree programme provides you with knowledge of the key methods and tools for organising, processing and analysing data efficiently. The acquired knowledge will enable you to develop innovative, data-based products and services and to integrate them into larger systems.
As a graduate with the Data Science profile you:
Master of Science in Engineering
Data scientists possess the skills to design, develop and deploy a wide range of data products and data flows for industry and the services sector. In Switzerland, data engineers, data analysts and developers of data products are highly sought-after specialists and find professional challenges and opportunities in almost every sector of industry.
As a Master of Science in Engineering graduate with the Data Science profile you are able to research, analyse and improve data and data flows using a wide range of statistical methods. You organise the recording and acquisition of application-specific data from heterogeneous sources. You also deploy data mining and machine learning in a targeted way. The development of applications for the content-related and economic improvement of data flows is also part of your professional skills set, as are competencies such as the general business understanding of data flows.
Bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline. Candidates are individually assessed by the university of applied sciences chosen. The assessment of the entry qualifications is part of the admissions procedure.
The master’s degree programme focuses on in-depth specialisation. Two-thirds of the programme is devoted to this and is completed at a research unit of a university of applied sciences. As part of this in-depth specialisation you will write two project theses and the master’s thesis.
One-third of your degree programme focuses on theory, which is taught in modules. These theory modules are subdivided into three areas:
Your degree programme is planned with support from your advisor. This study advisor will also guide you on the choice of theory modules and specialisation.
Machine intelligence raises deep scientific, engineering and societal challenges. Our «Applied Machine Intelligence» research group focus on identifying and defining solutions to these challenges.
Prof. Dr. Erik Graf, Head of the Data Science profile of this master’s degree programme, would be happy to advise you personally. We look forward to hearing from you.
The next information events will be held in autumn 2022.
You will find the programme and online registration here from July 2022.
The Master of Science (MSc) in Engineering covers a wide range of specialist skills. They are currently divided into 14 profiles throughout Switzerland. The Master of Science in Engineering can be obtained from Bern University of Applied Sciences in ten profiles.
