Ilmenau University of Technology is launching a Bachelor’s degree course in Data Science in the winter semester 2025/26, followed by a Master’s degree course in the summer semester 2026. The bilingual German-English Bachelor’s degree course provides in-depth knowledge of mathematics, computer science and data analysis as well as machine learning methods. The English-language Master’s program deepens these skills at the interface of science and business to open up attractive career opportunities for graduates worldwide.

Data science forms the basis of the modern information society and is crucial for areas such as climate research, medicine and digital services. The degree program prepares students for demanding jobs in technology, business and research. Thanks to the excellent supervision at TU Ilmenau, they benefit from individual support.

The Bachelor’s degree program combines an interdisciplinary foundation in mathematics, statistics and computer science with practical skills in data processing from the first semester onwards. Students learn to apply complex data science techniques such as artificial intelligence, to analyze problems in depth and to reflect critically. Through involvement in research projects and international networks, they are prepared for global careers. The bilingual approach gradually leads from German-language basics to English modules, supplemented by courses on specialist vocabulary, without the need for an English test.

The Master’s degree program focuses on innovative technologies and data-based decision-making. Students acquire expert knowledge in areas such as Bayesian inference, reinforcement learning and data assimilation in order to make precise predictions, for example in climate research, or well-founded decisions in medicine and business. The program allows a flexible focus. A cooperation with the Lappeenranta University of Technology in Finland enables a double degree, which increases opportunities on the international job market and strengthens career prospects through networks at two universities.
