Your Pathway to a Digital Future
Help shape the future of industry: The Master's degree programme in Industrial Data Science at the Technical University of Leoben combines classic engineering science with state-of-the-art data analysis. Here you will bridge the gap between technology and digitalisation and prepare yourself to actively drive the digital transformation.
In a world that is increasingly characterised by digitalisation and Industry 4.0, data is one of the most important raw materials. The targeted collection and analysis of this data is no longer only crucial to success in IT, but also in technology, science and industry. If you want to survive today, you have to create real operational and social benefits from digitalisation and data science projects. The merging of production and information technologies opens up possibilities that were unthinkable just a few years ago, and you are at the centre of this development.
With this degree programme, the Technical University of Leoben offers you the ideal platform to master current challenges in industry and science with data-based solutions. You will deepen your technical knowledge and at the same time gain comprehensive insights into the methods of artificial intelligence, machine learning and digital transformation.
What to expect from the study programme?
On the English-language Master's degree programme in Industrial Data Science, you will explore the world of technical processes. You will take a holistic view of systems and learn how to control and continuously improve processes through the targeted collection, processing and analysis of data.
You will acquire sound skills in information technology, artificial intelligence, natural sciences, engineering and business administration. You will use this knowledge to develop and realise data-based solutions for complex challenges in science, technology and business.
At the Technical University of Leoben, you will study in a research-oriented environment that combines theory and practice in a unique way. The close contact with industry ensures that you test and deepen your knowledge directly on real problems.
You design your degree programme individually. There are six specialisations to choose from:
- Data Acquisition
- Prediction and Control
- Modelling and Simulation
- Operations and Management
- Smart Manufacturing
- Digitisation in Tunneling
In addition, numerous elective options offer you the freedom to hone your personal profile. The programme concludes with a practice-oriented Master's project and your Master's thesis.
What are your career opportunities?
After graduating in Industrial Data Science, you will belong to a new generation of broadly trained engineers. You will have mastered highly specialised data science methods and apply them in a technical and industrial environment with innovative approaches and targeted problem-solving strategies.
Your skills are in demand in industrial and technology companies. You take on key roles in:
- data analysis,
- process optimisation,
- digitalisation
- and in research and development.
Thanks to your interdisciplinary training, you will understand complex data structures of technical systems, gain decisive insights from them and turn them into economic success. Your combination of technical know-how and data science expertise will also open up excellent prospects in an international environment and prepare you for a further academic career.
