track within Computer Science: Data Science and Technology track

The aim of this Data Science & Technology track is to learn you how to engineer systems in which (extremely) large data collections are the key component. You will gain the knowledge to develop and deploy algorithms to collect and analyse data. You will learn how to present data in a meaningful and transparent format and to support decision-making on the basis of that data. For example, you will learn how to detect patterns in gene-data, visualise the inner workings of a patient to support diagnosis, develop lifestyle change programmes to improve health, or extract user behaviour from web logs.
