Course Overview
The MS in Data Science has been developed as part of Schiller's wider technology and data programme group. Its current study plan combines database work, statistics, programming, cloud computing, machine learning and data visualisation. Students complete 30 American credits, equal to 60 ECTS, within a 12-month accelerated format.
The programme gives students practical exposure through real datasets and projects linked to areas such as finance, healthcare, sustainability and cybersecurity. Training with Python, R, SQL, Power BI and Tableau supports both technical and business-focused work. Students can use Schiller's international campus structure and may transfer between campuses after the fourth month.
Schiller has more than six decades of educational history and reports a community covering more than 130 nationalities. The university is accredited in the United States by ACCSC, giving the programme an American academic framework with an international study setting.
