Courses & curriculum

The master’s programme in Data Science for Decision Making teaches the use of applied mathematics to analyse and optimize processes, problems and operations. In the first year you start by following a number of core courses which will be complemented with two (semester-long) projects. From the second semester onwards, you will be able to pursue your own interests with a number of elective courses. Please find more information about these courses in our table below. During the second year you can further tailor the programme to your interests and for example do an international exchange at one of our partner Universities.
