Computer Science: Applied Data Science, Master's Program (Two-Year)

The Master’s Programme in Computer Science: Applied Data Science (Two-Year) at Malmö University is an advanced, interdisciplinary postgraduate degree designed to equip students with state-of-the-art computational methods, statistical models, and big data engineering capabilities. Taught entirely in English within the Faculty of Technology and Society, this programme awards a Master of Science (120 ECTS) in Computer Science. It directly responds to the global surge in digital data by preparing students to extract actionable intelligence, automate predictive workflows, and build scalable machine learning architectures across industry, healthcare, and society. The curriculum is closely integrated with the Department of Computer Science and Media Technology and frontier research environments such as the Internet of Things and People (IoTaP) research centre and the Data Society Research Programme. Coursework provides comprehensive training across Programming for Data Science, Algorithms in Machine Learning, Big Data Processing and Distributed Architectures, Data Mining, Deep Learning, Data Visualisation and Ethics, and Cloud Computing. Students gain extensive hands-on experience using industry-standard open-source pipelines and scalable frameworks. The programme culminates in the fourth semester with an independent Master’s Thesis (30 ECTS), conducting advanced empirical research into complex computational and data-driven problems in collaboration with academic research groups or industrial technology partners.
