The objective of the Information Sciences Master’s program is to train industrial or research professionals to master the theoretical foundations of IT, and the various concepts and tools implemented in today’s IT systems.
Data sciences needs in the decade to come will be significant: the need for data scientists is felt in key individual fields (information searches, education, culture, social networks), scientific fields (e-science), social fields (healthcare, education, e-government), and economics (industrial production, advertising, sales).
The success and relevance of these applications rely on the development of innovative methods that enable us to exploit huge volumes of diverse and unstructured data (Big Data). Studying this subject opens doors for students in executive and senior executive IT career roles in industrial and service sectors, or careers in research and R&D, in managing data in universities, public or private research organizations, large companies and start-ups.
All the courses are taught in English, and are based on the Erasmus Mundus IT4BI Master (Information Technologies for Business Intelligence). The cursus offered covers the following Teaching Units (UE):
-
4 UE for scientific and technological courses (5 ECTS per UE)
-
Semantic Technologies
