Master Aim and scope

Aim and scope

The master program aims at developing well-rounded professional figures, data scientists, able to provide answers to the emerging research questions arising from the pervasive presence of complex, unstructured, and high-dimensional data (the so-called big data), in a variety of application fields.

This objective is achieved through the acquisition of solid theoretical and practical skills in the field of statistics, mathematics, and programming, which can be employed in private companies and public administrations, as well as to support decision-making processes in public and private organizations. Specifically, the MD2SL program aims to bring graduates in quantitative disciplines to a higher level thanks to the multidisciplinary nature of Data Science.
