The MSc Data Science programme will equip students with the analytical tools to design sophisticated technical solutions for data-driven problems using modern computational methods and with an emphasis on rigorous statistical thinking.This programme lasts for two years, including 40 credit teaching modules and a 40-credit dissertation. The professional curriculum is suitable for graduates in various fields such as mathematics, engineering, computer science and social science. Teaching modules include compulsory courses for theoretical training of core disciplines including mathematics, statistics and computer science, as well as optional courses suitable for different application scenarios (such as artificial intelligence, biological information, and finance).Students can customise their training through various combinations of compulsory and optional modules to support different students’ interests and career planning.Moreover, as one of the joint master programmes with Jiangsu Industrial Technology Research Institute (JITRI), the student dissertation in this programme can be jointly guided by the industry experts from JITRI and academic supervisors from XJTLU. This programme provides a platform for knowledge and information exchange between university and enterprise and promotes cooperation between the two sides in key fields such as engineering mathematics, applied statistics, bioinformatics, and material science.
