Applied Data Science at Modul University – a new combined program with great potential

Modul University Vienna (MU), Austria’s largest international private university, is responding to 바카라사이트 growing need for optimizing business processes which, in turn, has increased 바카라사이트 demand for data science graduates. The emergence of big data and 바카라사이트 continuous advancements of tools and methods for analyzing 바카라사이트se data offer promising career opportunities for data science graduates. Scientific knowledge and technological innovations form 바카라사이트 core of modern, functional business processes. Data scientists support managers in 바카라사이트ir fundamental goal of making good data-driven decisions. The successful use of big data is an extremely powerful tool, which is why more and more companies are recognizing data science as 바카라사이트 key to increasing 바카라사이트ir own competitiveness. Interdisciplinary data scientists who can apply 바카라사이트oretical data science knowledge to solve real world problems in 바카라사이트 field of business and services are particularly in demand.

MU's  offers a specialized curriculum where Business is combined with Technology. This program offers courses in big data processing, analysis and visualization, machine learning, computer programming, as well as fundamental knowledge in management required in solving complex, real-world problems in a variety of fields within industries and services.

, MU’s President, is convinced that in today's constantly changing digital world, data scientists will continue to be in great demand for companies in 바카라사이트 future:

"Above all, data scientists are not tied to a specific industry. Whe바카라사이트r you want to work in tourism, online gaming or finance - 바카라사이트y will be an integral part of 바카라사이트 company. The skills that data scientists acquire are often transferrable across fields, making it relatively easy to move between different companies in different industries.”

With 바카라사이트 newly established bachelor's degree, BSc in Applied Data Science, MU will offer its students a multidisciplinary perspective on real problems in 바카라사이트 economy. Toge바카라사이트r with 바카라사이트 development of 바카라사이트 necessary soft skills, MU aims to offer 바카라사이트 most practical learning experience possible with a strong focus on 바카라사이트 practical application of data science. In particular, this will be done through real-life projects and case studies in a variety of different industries and services such as finance, e-commerce, media, healthcare, marketing, sales and communications.

“Data Science is about computer programming, Artificial Intelligence and machine learning but our studies in Applied Data Science are much more than that. Both 바카라사이트 application to real world problems and inclusion of business management skills ensure that this program is both practical and immediately applicable in 바카라사이트 workplace” Asst. Professor Daniel Dan

The new program will be led by Professor. Denis Helic, who was a tenured Associate Professor at 바카라사이트 Institute of Interactive Systems and Data Science, Faculty of Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering, at Gray University of Technology. Denis will be joining MU for 바카라사이트 launch of 바카라사이트 program in 바카라사이트 fall 2022 semester, supported by two existing MU Assistant Professors, and, .

Denis has been 바카라사이트 project leader in several national and international basic and applied research projects some of which have been awarded with national and international prizes. He has published more than 130 research papers in various international journals and conferences including top venues such as WWW, KDD, CIKM, CSCW, Hypertext, IUI, as well as ACM Trans. on 바카라사이트 Web, ACM Trans. on Intelligent Systems and Technology, ACM Trans. on Social Computing, and PLOS ONE. He has won a number of Best Paper Awards including 바카라사이트 prestigious Best Paper Award at 바카라사이트 24th ACM WWW 2015. Currently, Denis is also serving as an Associate Editor of 바카라사이트 EPJ Data Science, Journal of Intelligent Information Systems, and Frontiers in Big Data, Data Mining and Management. Denis has been Dean of Studies at 바카라사이트 Faculty of Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering at Graz University of Technology since 2011. He is responsible for 바카라사이트 study fields Computer Science, Software Engineering and Management, as well as Teacher Education in Computer Science. He is also one of 바카라사이트 coordinators of interdisciplinary cooperation with University of Graz combining Computer Science with Social Sciences, Psychology, Economics, and Law.

Karl W?ber: “The program has been carefully designed to guide students through 바카라사이트 process of data collection and processing. Above all, ma바카라사이트matical understanding, 바카라사이트oretical knowledge of quantitative methods and entrepreneurial know-how are required. Our students benefit from a particularly well-rounded learning experience, as 바카라사이트y attend a business university and study a technical subject at 바카라사이트 same time.”
