...Therefore Study in Marburg!
Interdisciplinary Degree Program
The Marburg master's degree program in Data Science builds a bridge between applied mathematics and computer science. In contrast to other master's degree programs in the field of Data Science, which focus on mathematics, the program focuses more on computer science and thus on the aspects of learning-based algorithms, distributed programming and scalable data management. Students can also optionally choose an application area and thus prioritize their course of study according to their individual inclinations and interests.
Excellent Student/Professor Ratio
The manageable size of the department allows for a very pleasant and personal atmosphere. The working environment among the students as well as the cooperation between teachers and students is praised by all participants and perceived as very good. The PC pools and several other rooms of the department can be used around the clock as a place of learning, and a student assistant is usually available in the afternoon in the department's own learning center ('Lernzentrum').
Project-oriented
The master's program in Data Science is project-oriented in order to establish a practical relevance and to strengthen social skills. The project work, which is - after the master thesis - the second largest module in the study program, serves to work on a more extensive real problem from the field of Data Science with reference to scientific issues in a group. In addition to intensive teamwork, other important aspects of project work are practiced over a period of up to one year and typical project problems are addressed.
Traditional University With Flair
Philipps-Universität Marburg is not only one of the most traditional German universities, but also the oldest Protestant university in the world. Research and teaching have been conducted here for almost five centuries. The city and the university accordingly form an inseparable unit. Marburg offers a historical environment, but at the same time beams with many pubs, restaurants, cinemas and the lawns on the banks of the Lahn, which are used extensively by students. The manageability and familiarity of the city and the university, as well as their student-friendly climate, are also reflected in the department.
