Data Science Abschluss: Master
Data science combines mathematics, statistics, computer science, and engineering to extract knowledge from data, support evidence based decision making, and build adaptive systems that learn from experience. Over the past decade it has become indispensable in domains as diverse as pharmaceutical research and development, medical imaging, computational social science, digital humanities, and public policy.

Termine und Fristen
Today’s wave of «generative AI»—especially large language models and diffusion models—has amplified that impact: LLM (=Large Language Model) powered assistants summarise medical literature in seconds, protein folding networks accelerate drug discovery, and foundation model surrogates speed up climate simulations. These advances illustrate the «unreasonable effectiveness» of data driven methods and are reshaping legal frameworks, public debate, and the very ways we work, think, and communicate.
A typical data science workflow starts with exploratory analysis and data cleaning, progresses through modelling and scalable computation, and culminates in clear visualisation and communication of new knowledge. Because of its sweeping importance, data science is often called the «fourth pillar» of scientific inquiry, standing alongside theory, experiment, and computational science.
