Máster en Ciencia de Datos para la Toma de Decisiones

Master’s programme in Data Science for Decision Making

In today’s world, there is an abundance of information, data and knowledge that can be explored and brought together, to gain a deeper understanding of underlying mechanisms in order to be able to make better decisions. Data Science for Decision Making (DSDM) is the young and modern discipline that aims to achieve just that, with the help of state-of-the-art scientific techniques and software. The master’s programme in Data Science for Decision Making examines the use of applied mathematics to analyse processes, problems and operations to determine their purpose and effectiveness in order to gain the maximum level of efficiency.

The information age has generated a wide variety of applications for Data Science for Decision Making in key areas of modern society including economics, telecommunications, bio-informatics, engineering, healthcare, ICT, logistics and process industry.
