Overview
The most important economic and social development of our times is digitalisation. Digital technology not only fills all areas of interpersonal communication but also has an important influence on our economy. It not only represents existing forms of technology but also paves the way for new business models that were not previously possible. Its distinguishing feature is the consistent use of data. No matter where ; no matter when. Data Science is therefore at the core of all digitalisation processes.
The Bachelor’s degree in Data Science covers data preparation, visualisation, and analysis. You’ll learn to take a methodical, focused, and logical approach to data science problems. The key focus is on practical problem-solving skills.
The IU programmes delivered to Global Pathways College students provide you with essential theoretical knowledge and focus, above all, on practice-oriented studies designed to best prepare you for your future career. Thanks to our great variety of specialisations you can specialise in the specific areas that match your personal goals.
Entry Requirements
As an applicant with a general secondary school diploma that qualifies you to start university, you’ll be able to start our Bachelor’s degree course straight away without any testing. Depending on your specialisation, if you’re an applicant with a subject-related secondary school diploma, you can either start your Bachelor’s degree course right away or with an entrance qualification.
Study Content
The Bachelor’s degree in Data Science covers all of the relevant fields of knowledge, such as data visualisation, data analysis, machine learning, and software engineering, and aligns them perfectly with one another. As you work through each of these individual topics, the key focus will be on practical problem-solving skills. What’s more, over the programme of your studies you’ll compile a portfolio containing various samples of your work and scientifically documenting the skills you have acquired.
Our Bachelor’s degree programme has a modular structure which means that you’ll study specific topics that are divided into modules. Once you’ve successfully completed a module, you will receive ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) points which are internationally recognized.
