About the Program

The Master's programme in Data Science at Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) is built around a structured curriculum covering core data science foundations, three specialisation areas, and a general qualification component. The core provides foundations in data science methods; the specialisations allow students to concentrate on mathematics, computer science, or applications, with the requirement that at least one module from each area is taken. The general qualification component addresses non-technical topics, business and management, research methods, and a seminar. Project work and the master's thesis can be carried out at different institutes within TUHH, giving students the opportunity to engage with research-oriented work. The programme runs over 4 semesters starting in the winter semester and carries no tuition fees. Teaching emphasises independent thinking and the ability to work in international teams, and students are integrated into research and development projects early in the programme. The degree is offered at Hamburg University of Technology in Hamburg, Germany.
