Eligibility
Graduates with a minimum of 60% from any of the disciplines from recognized university – BE/B.tech/B.Sc, with Mathematics/statistics as one of the subjects.
Pre-College master’s program is intended for students who don’t have sufficient knowledge of statistics and mathematics. We offer a 4 to 6 weeks of pre-master’s program. Contact our admission officers to see what the pre-master could look like for you depending on your background and experience.
Career prospects
As a graduate you have excellent career opportunities. You possess a deep scientific understanding grounded in practical experience from working on real-life cases. Together with a valuable professional network, you will be fully equipped to enter the job market with an ever-growing number of data science and AI-related vacancies. Not only in the Suriname but also worldwide.
Knowledge and skills Next to the knowledge in data engineering, data analytics, decision-making, business development, and legal and ethical disciplines, you will be explicitly trained in a set of essential professional skills, such as:
- Creative thinking, communicating, presenting, negotiating, debating, interviewing, and pitching. You will be practicing these in the In Action courses with real-life data.
- By engaging with the company stakeholders, you will learn to shape the problem definition and select and apply the methods that fit the problem – not vice versa.
- In addition to the professional skills, you will be educated in academic skills, that will allow you to find and understand scientific articles, and do your own research in the core scientific disciplines covered by the program.
Endless opportunities
This ensures that career opportunities are endless. You can manage your own data science company, finding new markets and opportunities with data. Within an organization, you are the one who translates a variety of issues into technical data insights. You make sure this lands in the business, thereby improving its performance. Or you can work as a data consultant or analyst: from advising companies who want to know more about the purchasing behavior of their customers, to using big data supporting police crime detection work, to helping healthcare institutes.
Program Objective
The program is driven by the overarching purpose of creating resources that will play leadership roles in the tech and data-driven digital world. The specific objective of the Master’s Program in Data Science with ML and AI is to empower the learners to transition into the exciting world of Data Science, and everything about the program – the design, the delivery, the assessment methods – is aligned to achieve this objective.
