Note: The lecture "Data and Web Mining " was postponed to the Wintersemester 2019/2020

Even though the MSc Data Science has a strong emphasis on its interdisciplinary structure, students have the possibility to specialize in a certain field and add a respective label to their degree. A summary of labels and the required lectures can be found in the drop down below as well as a time table of specialization lectures held in the wintersemester 2019/2020.
