Data Science is a new technical discipline, and a driving force for future research and innovations. The future belongs to data scientists: scientific research and innovations will all be based on the analyses you produce. Data collection is going on all the time, everywhere. Data Science is a joint bachelor of TU/e and Tilburg University, which is why you will attend classes at both universities. You will be taught by experts in this field – both Data Science Centers provide big data experts who will share their knowledge. After graduation, you will receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Data Science. You will learn to spot trends for businesses, government agencies or non-profit organizations. You will also focus on societal issues relating to data science including legal, social, ethical, business, and entrepreneurial issues. Courses cover various topics such as statistics, programming, data mining, business analytics, law and the ethics of data science. Within the program you have to travel between the two universities. Please bear in mind that the students have to cover the travel costs themselves (about 1200€ p. year).
