Master of Data Science free videos and free material uploaded by Higher School of Economics Staff .
The program curriculum consists of 21 courses divided into four blocks: a mathematics block, a programming block, a professional block, and a project block. Students begin their first semester with courses in the mathematics and programming blocks. Each course is typically 5 credits, while a project is 10 credits. In order to successfully complete the program, students must earn 120 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits in total. 10 credits will come from the final project presentation.
Every course includes at least one live session with a faculty member through tools like Slack and Zoom, weekly office hours, one assignment graded personally by a faculty member, and one hands-on project.
To graduate, each student will complete a final project, which will involve solving a problem with a real-world dataset. For this project, students are assigned their own advisor that provides feedback and guidance. In the last two weeks of the program, students get the opportunity to present their project to a committee of academic supervisors and industry professionals via Zoom. The presentation will be approximately 10-15 minutes, followed by Q&A and scoring by the panel. All coursework must be completed prior to the final presentation.
Upon successful completion of the degree program, students will receive a Master of Data Science degree from HSE University.
