About this programme
The M.Sc. in Computer Science – Data Science programme combines statistics, cloud and security technologies with data management. It covers all key aspects of the field: how to securely store and manage data, how to visualise and analyse at scale, and how to use analysis to make decisions. Graduates of this strand will be equipped to tackle the huge challenges and opportunities that the big-data revolution is bringing to all aspects of life; in IT, health, transport, science and engineering to name but a few. The School of Computer Science and Statistics is one of the few Schools globally that has expertise in all elements of data science. Dublin is a centre for several of the major IT players, such as Google, Meta, LinkedIn, eBay and X, as well as a major centre for data science research and consulting through the presence of companies such as IBM Research, Accenture, and Deloitte.
