Master's Programme in Data Science - Machine Learning and Statistics

Companies such as Netflix, Amazon and Spotify collect user data to generate predictions and recommendations. To analyse data produced by large-scale scientific experiments, advanced machine learning algorithms and data engineering platforms are needed. Many of the societal challenges facing us, such as social welfare, climate, health, democracy or security, require the use of data-driven methods and AI. In all these examples, a single profession plays a pivotal role in turning information into insight: the data scientist. The Master's Programme in Data Science has three specialisations. The specialisation in Machine Learning and Statistics will provide you with the knowledge, tools and skills to succeed in a wide range of different positions that involve the analysis of large amounts of data. This specialisation provides the general skills needed by a data scientist, as well as advanced skills in machine learning, reinforcement learning, computer-intensive statistics, and selected mathematical topics in Data Science. Uppsala University offers a rich and vital research environment in data science, with a large number of researchers from several different institutions. The language of instruction is English.
