Graduate Profile

In the world there is a growing need for people who have knowledge of statistics, artificial intelligence and handling of massive amounts of data, with the aim of improving the decision making of a company to increase profits or reduce costs. One of the areas with the most demand today is the data science.

Therefore, this is a program was designed in collaboration with the best university in the world in technology: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It has a scientific focus and aims for its students to be able to give research contributions to the area of data science.

The Master in Data Science It is made up of the following postgraduate degrees:

Postgraduate in Data Analysis and Prediction:

This program was created based on a collaboration agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

The student of this Postgraduate will learn to develop intelligent algorithms in specialized tools and languages such as Python, R, SQL, Shiny Apps, among others. You will have the necessary knowledge to create products that facilitate data management for improved decision-making.

MicroMaster in Statistics and Data Science:

This specialized postgraduate course is focused on the development of technical skills of data analysis and machine learning algorithms. It is taught by MIT through edX in virtual mode, completely in English.

In order for this MicroMasters® Program to be equivalent to the Data Science Master, it is necessary to complete it satisfactorily and present the credential obtained by edX and MIT at the Operations Research Institute of the Galileo University.

The virtual modality that you can choose promotes constructivist learning that avoids establishing specific study hours for all participants. Each student organizes their time and carries out the assigned activities according to their availability and the established demands.

You receive virtual 100% classes and have 24/7 access to all deferred content.
You have a virtual campus through which you can plan activities, communicate with your peers and teachers, monitor your evaluations, receive feedback.
You have videos and learning resources dosed to guide your learning in a dynamic and effective way.
You can raise questions and concerns through multiple communication channels (such as forums, email, virtual campus, etc.).
You receive accompaniment and support from experts.
You carry out questionnaires and interactive activities that seek to make it easier for you to retain and apply the content.
