Introduction
Accredited by the Malta Further & Higher Education Authority (MFHEA)
Computer science and technology will be our future and employment of IT experts is expected to grow by 12% from now until 2028. By considering the rapid rise of innovative tech as drivers of the global economy, the MSC in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence offers students a broad foundation in modern software and hardware systems and an in-depth knowledge of the new applications of IT.
The master's program covers the latest technologies from Artificial Intelligence to Data Science and machine learning and their applications to the cloud and mobile apps and systems. Students will develop a comprehensive knowledge of the fundamentals of data management and an in-depth understanding of artificial intelligence principles and technologies and big data analytics. They will also develop a comprehensive knowledge of the main data-mining tasks such as data selection, data transformation, analysis, and interpretation, with specific reference to unstructured text data, and the issues related to analysis in the "big data" environment.
The Online Education That Fits Your Needs
Our online education model gives you the freedom to complete classes on your schedule and create a learning experience that fits your needs, with access to faculty and advisors who will support you throughout the master's. All the modules will be taught online through an interactive Virtual Learning Environment where you can access synchronous and asynchronous lectures and project-based and lab activities. Live interactive sessions and webinars will be organized by the professor to deepen relevant topics, present case studies, and organize practical activities. The module also includes different discussion forums that allow students to create and process information, practice critical thinking, and collaborate and interact simultaneously or asynchronously in the online learning environment.
Customized assistance by faculty and academic advisors will be provided to the students throughout the academic journey to improve academic success and results.
