MSc in Data Sciences at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, Germany

Mittweida University of Applied Sciences • Mittweida 4 Semesters
Gernamy Full Time
Master of Science Onsite

Modern mathematics is at the heart of an increasing number of innovations in the field of artificial intelligence, digital communication, forensics, e-commerce, medical technology, and social networks. In particular, all kinds of machine learning applications, industry 4.0, data sciences, and web-based services are based on strong mathematical concepts in order to be efficient and secure.

Modeling and development of respective algorithms and technologies rely on profound mathematical knowledge and methods. Current and previous developments in these highly innovative fields have led to a new understanding of mathematics and stimulate new mathematical research. The main characteristics of modern applied mathematics are its algorithmic view as a technology-driven field, combining challenging mathematical problems with industrial relevance and innovation.

The goal of the Master’s degree program in applied mathematics at our university is to persuade young people to participate in these ongoing developments in a most competent and comprehensive way as well as to give them promising perspectives for an academic or professional career in the field of mathematics and its applications to computational intelligence, network analysis, and data sciences.

On the one hand, the focus of the program is applied mathematics for machine learning and statistical data analysis as well as modeling. On the other hand, courses regarding cryptanalysis/cryptography and graph theory for modern network and data sciences belong to the specific topics in our program and focus.
