Bachelor Data Science (B.Sc./B.Eng.)
So that you can decode data worlds with AI.How can data be transformed into knowledge? What drives AI innovation? How does information become action?In the Data Science program, you will learn to interpret data, master AI technologies, and translate information flows into strategic decisions. Become a driving force at the heart of digitalization.Study profileIn the data-driven economy, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important. Methods such as machine learning and deep learning make it possible to extract valuable insights from large datasets and to develop innovative products and services.Data scientists are masters of data analysis and data insights. They are needed in all sectors of the economy where in-depth data knowledge is required and data-driven decisions are made. They work in startups and medium-sized companies as well as in the research and development departments of large, globally operating corporations.The HFH distance learning program in Data Science offers you comprehensive and interdisciplinary training in statistics, computer science, and business analytics to optimally prepare you for the challenges of the data-driven age.During the program, you will learn various techniques and methods for generating new insights from large datasets. This includes the use of both classic statistical models and artificial intelligence methods . In the practical project labs , you will apply your knowledge directly in interdisciplinary projects.To support your learning, we offer online seminars for all modules . Many seminars can also be attended in person at selected study centers.In the state-approved distance learning program Data Science, you can obtain a Bachelor of Science with 180 ECTS credits in 8 semesters or a Bachelor of Engineering with 210 ECTS credits in 9 semesters .By increasing the workload per semester, you can reduce the study duration to 6 semesters (B.Sc.) or 7 semesters (B.Eng.) .
