Career Profile

Admission to this profile requires a set of specific skills. Universities of applied sciences individually assess the qualifications of their prospective students - it is a standard part of their admissions process.
The following bachelor’s degrees are among the most adjacent in terms of subject matter taught:

  • Degree programs with a focus on ICT / Information Technology. These bachelor’s degrees encompass topics that mostly revolve around Data Engeineering and algorithmic foundations. With a Data Science profile MSE, students complete their data analysis and services education including the acquisition of advanced skills in the fields of Statistics, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and by learning to devise, implement and deploy data services for companies.
  • Degree programs with an Engineering and Management focus. These bachelor’s programs mainly teach content related to Data Services. Here, the Data Science MSE profile will complete your Data Engineering and Data Analytics skills and knowledge.

As Data Science graduates, you will have a wide range of career options, both in Switzerland and abroad.
With a specialization in Data Engineering, you may, for instance, assume positions in the fields of  Big Data Software Engineering or IoT Software Engineering. If you focus on topics related to Data Analytics, you will likely find employment as a Data Analyst oder Data Scientist. If you choose to specialize in Data Services, you will have the opportunity to work as a Data Service Engineer or Operation Service Manager.

Statement of a graduate

Picture of Tom Christen

How has your MSE degree influenced your professional career?
It gave me a lot of options to choose from since a degree in Data Science is very sought after. It also gave me confidence in the application process that I have the necessary skillset.

What advice do you have for new MSE students?
Try to inform yourself about the modules and what they entail to plan the best possible learning during your masters. Some courses overlap a lot which will save you some work but also costs you some of the learning.

In which areas were you able to develop the most through your MSE studies?
Since I didn’t know computerscience before starting, the learning curve in that area was very steep.
I especially developed my coding skills but also the understanding in deep learning and machine learning were huge steps in my development during these 18 months.

What were your main reasons for choosing the MSE programme?
I wanted to have a lot of practical work for my second master and the MSE programme offers 2 third of the degree as practical work, supported by modules where you learn the necessary skills which for me was the perfect combination and the reason why I chose this programme.
