Program goal: The program focuses on various applications of data science and data analysis. You will learn how to build artificial intelligence systems using state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms.
The program is for software developers and engineers, mathematicians and computer science specialists, who want to move to the data science field. The program is focused on developing artificial intelligence systems and putting them into production.
The program covers three areas:
- Machine learning algorithms and methods including both classic machine learning and modern deep neural networks.
- Various applications of machine learning systems such as computer vision, natural language processing, and time series analysis.
- Software development for building machine learning systems including Python programming, Big Data Processing, and DevOps.
In addition to theoretical courses, the program includes a project workshop. During the workshop, students are working on real data science projects from companies.
You also have the opportunity to get not one, but two diplomas!
The double degree graduation requires that participating students study one academic year (two semesters) at each institution in order to complete part of the curriculum Student’s performance will be recognized and graded on the basis of Transcript of Records.
When graduated you will be awarded with two diplomas:
- diploma of Master of Science from Ural Federal University
- diploma of Master of Science (Magister) from WSB University - diploma recognized in all EU countries and more
Curriculum:
- Logic and methodology of scientific research
- Introduction to data analysis methods and information retrieval
