Data Science is becoming the all-powerful lens through which the modern world understands and leverages information. The Department of Data Science at AIUB is a modern hub for the data-driven-empowerment of decision-making-creating professionals who are analytic by skill and insightful by strength. Currently, the department offers a Bachelor of Science in Data Science degree that covers the entire spectrum of data analytics training, from the basics such as statistics and programming, to the latest fields of study like machine learning, big data analytics, deep learning, and artificial intelligence, which the department changes continually to keep pace with the highly volatile and ever-changing global data market. Notably, the students are not book-bound. They have practical training in specialized labs with industry-standard tools and platforms for processing, visualizing, and interpreting large-scale data. With a vision to keep abreast of all modern data technologies, the department also wants its graduates to be able to identify complex data challenges and make a significant impact across sectors.

The academician at the department uniquely interweaves academic research and hands-on practical knowledge in the field of data and technology while mentoring students in predictive modeling, data mining, data ethics, business intelligence, and cloud data engineering. Whether students wish to continue on to graduate studies or directly into careers as a data analyst, data scientist, or data engineer, the Department of Data Science at AIUB creates an environment, provides mentorship, and furnishes tools needed for the students to form a mindset about the future in the age of data.
