Eligibility

There is no single eligibility rule for Data Science Master's programmes. A Bachelor's degree in computer science, IT, mathematics, statistics, engineering or another quantitative field may be relevant, but individual programmes can require specific subjects, credits or programming and mathematics knowledge.

Do not select a programme only because the title contains "Data Science". Compare the modules, technical depth, entry requirements, project work and career direction.

TRUEMATICS counsellors can help you shortlist suitable universities based on your Bachelor's qualification, academic profile and budget.
