Key facts

In this track, students will learn most of the knowledge in the general Computer Science track in addition to at least 8 courses (4 core courses in German Jordanian University (GJU) – Amman and 4 elective courses in a German partner university) related to the theoretical and practical underpinnings of Data Science. Data Science utilizes programming skills and knowledge of mathematics/statistics to extract meaningful insights from data.

Data Scientists apply machine learning algorithms to numbers, text, images, video, audio, and more to produce artificial intelligence (AI) systems to perform tasks that ordinarily require human intelligence. In this track students will be provided with extended knowledge and training in the theoretical and practical aspects of data science applications and technologies. Moreover, several state-of-the-art courses that are related to data science will be offered, such as Data Mining, Artificial Intelligence, Image Understanding, Machine Learning, and Cloud Computing and Big Data. Besides, students in this track will conduct projects in their courses to acquire the required skills and competencies.
