The era of artificial intelligence (AI) has arrived. How do young people interested in AI come to this technological transformation? We believe that the key point is to find a suitable opportunity for graduate study. The Division of Science and Technology (DST) of Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University United International College (UIC) is to offer a new Master of Science in Data Science (MSc DS) programme. The course structure focuses on practice and combines advanced data science knowledge with the practical skills required for the relevant profession. The students will be able to identify relevant cross-cutting issues through data analysis and artificial intelligence techniques, and providing solutions to these problems through teamwork, using appropriate hardware and software tools. Last but not least, the education of professional ethics explains the ethical and legal issues associated with data science and artificial intelligence practices in different industries and applies them in the course of operations.
In the one year programme, we hope to help students to gain the ability to critically evaluate and learn the latest knowledge of data and intelligence, and pursue continuous learning and self-development in whole life.
