Data Science and Information Engineering

This programme teaches methods for analysis, processing and transmission of large-scale data and signals, using tools from machine learning, signal processing, and information and communication theory. Choose among three specialisations: Images and Vision, Data Science, and Connectivity. Project work is offered in collaboration with tech companies.

We are living in an increasingly networked society. The emergence of new applications such as augmented, virtual and extended reality, and the Internet of Things, are set to revolutionise the coming decades. The exponential growth in the capability of artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the proliferation of wireless communication devices, require skilled engineers to drive technological development and inspire new inventions. This programme provides tools to develop these new technologies. It is highly competitive – you must possess advanced skills in mathematics, programming, and a dedication to your education.

Complex networks and signal analysis

Mandatory courses include machine learning, complex networks and big data, multidimensional signal analysis, information and communications engineering, as well as distributed information processing and learning.

From the second semester you follow one of these specialisations:

• Images and Vision: Courses mainly on image processing and computer vision.
• Data Science: Advanced information processing and machine-learning knowledge for the analysis of and inference from big data.
• Connectivity: Wireless systems and their fundamentals, with a range of courses on communications and information storage, compression, and transmission.
