by data analytics. The next two years focus on the development of the
Doctoral thesis. Students are required to spend at least one semester in a
research institution abroad, taking advantage of the network of international
collaborations of the three departments involved in the program.
Mission The program aims at breeding the next generation of data scientists who
and goals will tackle the challenges and the opportunities created by the increasing
availability of massive amount of data. These data scientists will be able to
capture the relevant aspects of phenomena at play, develop adequate models,
supervise the development of analytic pipelines, critically analyze the results,
and support the technological transfer.
Career Data Analytics and Decision Sciences graduates are equipped with
Opportunities distinctive skills and advanced knowledge that open up career opportunities
