The Master of Science in Applied Information and Data Science at HSLU focuses on innovative teaching methods such as project-based learning. This approach bridges the gap between academia and the working world, as students work on real-world business problems, acquiring specialist knowledge and soft skills such as teamwork, communication and problem-solving. These projects form an integral part of the programme, are assessed with ECTS credits, and enhance the practical skills and career prospects of our graduates.
Project-based learning is implemented in collaboration with our partner, bydo. Information on participation and projects can be found here.
In collaboration with our training partners, the Master of Science in Applied Information and Data Science provides an opportunity to obtain additional recognised certificates and enhance your professional profile.
