About this programme
The UBC Master of Data Science (MDS) is a 10-month professional degree program. The MDS program was developed by the combined expertise of the UBC departments of Computer Science and Statistics to help meet a growing need for data scientists by producing skilled professionals who can turn data into knowledge using Data Science and Artificial Intelligence methods. Everything we do generates data and every new technology used to capture this data brings with it even more opportunities to extract knowledge, to learn, to grow, and to create change. Data science is the process of extracting value from that data through reproducible and auditable processes. Utilizing descriptive and prescriptive techniques, students carefully apply AI and Machine Learning methods to extract and analyze both unstructured and structured data and then communicate
