Data Science (Joint bachelor)
The bachelor is an English taught program that teaches you to analyze and apply complex, unstructured data to provide new insights to unsolved issues faced by government, industry and society. The program is taught in Eindhoven and Tilburg so traveling is required.
Data Science is about creating value from data. Learn to analyze the large amounts of data that today’s society operates on. Discover trends and patterns that are relevant for businesses, government agencies, or nonprofit organizations. This program not only focuses on the technical side, but also on the legal, social, ethical, and business aspects of Data Science. This multidisciplinary approach makes the program unique. Data Science is offered jointly by Tilburg University and Eindhoven University of Technology.
This joint bachelor brings together the best of two universities; Tilburg University's expertise in Econometrics, Business Administration and Law is combined with Eindhoven University of Technology's expertise in Mathematics, Computer Science and Engineering. Both universities add their expertise in Artificial Intelligence and Statistics. You will be taking courses at both universities.
- In the first year, you are introduced to the various Data Science core fields, like computer science and data analytics. You develop a mathematical base which you will build on during the rest of your studies. You will also learn more about the main application domains and the broader social and economic setting of data science developments. You will explore the important area of law and ethics to become a responsible data scientist.
- In the second year, you study the legal, mathematical, statistical, technical and business aspects of data research more in-depth. You determine part of your program yourself by selecting elective modules, which allows you to tailor your own program.
- Entrepreneurship plays a greater role in the third year, which features courses such as Business Insights and Networks & Data-Driven Business Creation. There is a more extensive choice of electives. You complete the Bachelor’s program with a Bachelor's thesis.
